Ep. 25: The Polynesians

This episode is different than most of our other ones as we broadened our outlook considerably as we explored the Polynesian Question. How did these peoples, sharing a very distinct culture, manage to spread to the far reaches of the mostly empty South Pacific ocean in a relatively short time span? The last great human expansion. I think Vic's insights here have raised more questions than they've answered showing us how little we really know about anything! And how so many of our modern day assumptions might just be all wrong. Another surprising episode to enjoy!
