About this title

Synopsis

Uncover the Polynesian story through a bold, evidence‑driven look at origins and spread

This scholarly work surveys how Polynesian languages, customs, and social practices connect across vast Pacific islands and contrast them with early American cultures, inviting readers to weigh competing theories about ancient migration and civilization.

Focusing on the intriguing coincidences and differences in language and ritual, the author builds a case for a deep, shared heritage among the Pacific peoples while challenging other migration hypotheses. The narrative blends travel experience, historical records, and missionary observations to illuminate how these island communities developed distinctive yet related traditions.

Explore how language, ritual, and social norms are used to trace connections among Pacific island groups.
See how ancient practices, such as burial rites and taboos, compare with other world cultures.
Learn how 19th‑century scholars weighed different theories about the peopling of the Pacific and the Americas.
Understand how religious and cultural exchanges shaped early interactions between explorers, missionaries, and indigenous communities.

Ideal for readers interested in anthropology, history, and religious studies, this edition offers a thought‑provoking examination of early ideas about human migration and civilization.
