They don't, that was way before the arrival of the Europeans. Approximately 96% of the population is Christian.

For the most part, people in Papua New Guinea do not eat other people. This is illegal in all civilised countries.

However, Papua New Guinea is a fascinating place, with many regions virtually untouched by modern society. Cannibalism was a common practice in Papua New Guinea as recently as the twentieth century. There are some tribes in the wildest western region of Papua New Guinea which are said to still maintain the practice, such as the ethnic groups of the Korowai and the Kombai people, but only as a form of tribal punishment. They do not headhunt strangers.
