Afek is a mythic heroine in the religion of the Min peoples living in Sandaun Province of Papua New Guinea.
[1] Humans were believed created in a multiple birth of the cultural heroine Afek, emerging immediately after the first dog.
(This contrasts with humans—the Urapmin previously had no cannibalism taboo, but they can share food with them.)
In fact, the taboo on eating dogs is one of the few still widely observed.
