How did a Stone Age people, with no compass and no writing, settle thousands of islands scattered across a third of the planet? Did they drift by accident, as Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon-Tiki raft suggested, or did they cross the largest ocean on Earth on purpose? In this documentary a Polynesian population geneticist traces the real answer through language, the Lapita pottery nemesis netflix trail out of Taiwan, the legendary 1976 voyage of Hokulea and the navigator Mau Piailug, the Polynesian motif in mitochondrial DNA, and the stunning 2020 discovery of Native American ancestry in eastern Polynesia dating to around the year 1200. This is a story about method as much as mystery, about what the science ovo proves, what it still debates, and why the world found it so hard to believe that the greatest explorers in human history sailed by the stars.#Polynesia #DNA #Ancestry #Pacific fernando tatis jr #history
