Abstract
In the first part of this paper (Oceania 62(1)) I presented the mythopoeic‐cosmological foundations of incest among the Iqwaye people, a Yagwoia‐Anga group of the West Menyamya Census Division, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. The core of incest passions derives from the primordial autosexual‐autonutritive, i.e. self‐procreative, cosmic man. Here I am demonstrating how incest as autocreation is realized in the main structural configurations of Iqwaye social organization, specifically the naming system, patrifiliation, matrifiliation, affinity, cross‐sex siblingship and, finally, institutionalized male homosexuality.
