Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins, routes, and extent of Polynesian migrations, as well as their influence on the Australasians of New Caledonia. The author presents evidence that a vast continent existed in the Pacific Ocean during the Tertiary period, which gradually sank beneath the waves. The inhabitants of this continent, ancestors of the Polynesians, were forced to migrate in search of new homes. The author argues that these migrations occurred in a generally east-to-west direction, facilitated by prevailing winds and currents. Polynesian navigators, skilled in their craft, ventured far from their ancestral shores, eventually reaching and settling the islands of Polynesia. The book examines the linguistic, cultural, and archaeological similarities between Polynesians and indigenous peoples of the Americas, Australasia, and Southeast Asia, suggesting a shared ancestry and complex migratory patterns. It highlights the remarkable adaptability and resilience of the Polynesian people, who have thrived in diverse and challenging environments.
