  • Human Discovery and Settlement of the Remote Easter Island (SE Pacific)
    quaternary Review Human Discovery and Settlement of the Remote Easter Island (SE Pacific) Valentí Rull Laboratory of Paleoecology, Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera (ICTJA-CSIC), C. Solé i Sabarís s/n, 08028 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Received: 19 March 2019; Accepted: 27 March 2019; Published: 2 April 2019 Abstract: The discovery and settlement of the tiny and remote Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has been a classical controversy for decades. Present-day aboriginal people and their culture are undoubtedly of Polynesian origin, but it has been debated whether Native Americans discovered the island before the Polynesian settlement. Until recently, the paradigm was that Easter Island was discovered and settled just once by Polynesians in their millennial-scale eastward migration across the Pacific. However, the evidence for cultivation and consumption of an American plant—the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)—on the island before the European contact (1722 CE), even prior to the Europe-America contact (1492 CE), revived controversy. This paper reviews the classical archaeological, ethnological and paleoecological literature on the subject and summarizes the information into four main hypotheses to explain the sweet potato enigma: the long-distance dispersal hypothesis, the back-and-forth hypothesis, the Heyerdahl hypothesis, and the newcomers hypothesis. These hypotheses are evaluated in light of the more recent evidence (last decade), including molecular DNA phylogeny and phylogeography of humans and associated plants and animals, physical anthropology (craniometry and dietary analysis), and new paleoecological findings. It is concluded that, with the available evidence, none of the former hypotheses may be rejected and, therefore, all possibilities remain open.

  • A Brief Ethnohistory of Rapa Island, French Polynesia, AD 1791–1840
    2 ‘Dwelling carelessly, quiet and secure’ A brief ethnohistory of Rapa Island, French Polynesia, AD 1791–1840 Atholl Anderson Department of Archaeology and Natural History, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, [email protected] Introduction In 1826, the first European missionary to Rapa, the Rev. John Davies, quoted Judges 18:7 in seeing the Rapans as ‘dwelling carelessly, quiet and secure, and having no business with any man’ (in Stokes n.d.:28; an idiomatic rendering of the passage). It was to some extent, possibly to a great extent, quite illusory. Rapa was certainly isolated by comparison with most of East Polynesia, and it was small, mountainous and relatively cold, but even the first European visitors found that Rapans exhibited evidence of contact with the outside world, and within Rapan traditions, historical observations and ethnographic data which together form the stuff of ethnohistory, the theme of contact and change is illustrated continually. Rapan society was East Polynesian in ancestry and culture. Rapans spoke an East Polynesian language, but its closest affinities were puzzling for a long time. The earliest historical contacts with Rapans showed that they found both Hawaiian and Tahitian largely unintelligible and later characterisation of Rapan by European scholars was confused because of the early introduction of Tahitian by missionaries and, after 1863, of other Polynesian languages by Tongans, Tokelauans and Cook Islanders, whose descendants came eventually to represent nearly half of the population (Stokes 1955). Samuel Stutchbury had observed, presciently, in 1826 (in Richards 2004:5) that the Rapan language was ‘something resembling the Marquesan’, but Horatio Hale (1968:141), about 1840, ‘obtained at Tahiti, from a native of Rapa, a brief vocabulary of the language spoken there, which turns out to be, with a few verbal exceptions, pure Rarotongan, and this in its minute peculiarities’, while the missionaries William Ellis (1838) and M.

  • CRYPTORRHYNCHINAE of the AUSTRAL ISLANDS (Coleoptera, Curculionidae)
    CRYPTORRHYNCHINAE OF THE AUSTRAL ISLANDS (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) By ELWOOD C. ZIMMERMAN BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM OCCASIONAL PAPERS VOLUME XII, NUMBER 17 :. ..,," HONOLULU, HAWAII PUBLISHED BY THE MUSEUM October 30, 1936 CRYPTORRHYNCHINAE OF THE AUSTRAL ISLANDS1 2 (COLl';OPTtRA, CURCULIONIDAE) By ELWOOD C. ZIMMER:>IAN INTRODUCTION This paper is based on the collection of Cryptorrhynchinae made by me in the Austral Islands while on the "Mangarevan Expedition to southeastern Polynesia in 1934. The Austral Archipelago is a group of five scattered islands lying to the south of the Society Islands and to the southeast of the Cook Islands (21 0 30' S. to 24° 00' S; 147 0 40' W. to 154 0 55' W.). The general trend of the group is northwest by southeast, and the islands are, in order: Maria, Rimatara, Rurutu, Tubuai, and Raivavae. The northwesternmost island, Maria, is a low coral atoll; the next island to the east, Rimatara, reaches an elevation of about 300 feet, and the following three islands reach elevations of 1,300, 1,309, and 1,434 feet respectively. The devastation of the endemic flora of the group has been extensive. Raivavae has the greatest areas of native vegetation. Tubuai and Rurutu have been so com­ pletely denuded that there now remain only small pockets of endemic forest near the summits of their highest peaks. The interior of Rimatara has yielded completely to fire and cultivation, while Maria has the typical, widespread flora of the atolls. It is only in the small vestiges of native vegetation that endemic Cryptorrhynchinae can now be found.

  • Biogeography of the Fauna of French Polynesia: Diversification Within And
    Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B (2008) 363, 3335–3346 doi:10.1098/rstb.2008.0124 Published online 5 September 2008 Review Biogeography of the fauna of French Polynesia: diversification within and between a series of hot spot archipelagos Rosemary G. Gillespie1,*, Elin M. Claridge2 and Sara L. Goodacre3 1Department of Environmental Science, University of California, 137 Mulford Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720-3114, USA 2UC Berkeley Gump Research Station, BP 244, Maharepa, Moorea 98728, French Polynesia 3Institute of Genetics, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK The islands of French Polynesia cover an area the size of Europe, though total land area is smaller than Rhode Island. Each hot spot archipelago (Societies, Marquesas, Australs) is chronologically arranged. With the advent of molecular techniques, relatively precise estimations of timing and source of colonization have become feasible. We compile data for the region, first examining colonization (some lineages dispersed from the west, others from the east). Within archipelagos, blackflies (Simulium) provide the best example of adaptive radiation in the Societies, though a similar radiation occurs in weevils (Rhyncogonus). Both lineages indicate that Tahiti hosts the highest diversity. The more remote Marquesas show clear examples of adaptive radiation in birds, arthropods and snails. The Austral Islands, though generally depauperate, host astonishing diversity on the single island of Rapa, while lineages on other islands are generally widespread but with large genetic distances between islands. More recent human colonization has changed the face of Polynesian biogeography. Molecular markers highlight the rapidity of Polynesian human (plus commensal) migrations and the importance of admixture from other populations during the period of prehistoric human voyages.

  • Imagereal Capture
    EVOLUTION OF LAND POLICY IN FRENCH POLYNESIA Y-L SAGE Maitre de Confe'rences, French University of the Pacific Honorary Fellow in Law, Victoria University of Wellington Land was always a matter of major concern in the former French colonies. From a social perspective, it presented an immediate and obvious antagonism between the first settlers and native populations. The main difficulty faced by French colonial administrations' was to calm the worries of the latter about possible deprivation and at the same time to satisfy the new arrivals' expectations for land. Moreover in the French administration of the 19th century, it was widely recognised that simple and non-formalistic legislation on land which facilitated goods and chattels circulating freely and which provided guarantees to the purchaser and the creditor, favoured the development of new colonies. Therefore all the steps necessary (even the most radical) to achieve this result were considered. Broadly stated the islands of the Polynesian archipelagos followed this general trend but, if the theory is clear, in the ordinary run of things its application was beset with difficulties. Girault commented that if French Colonial policy ... was generous [it was also] untested. It originated from an a priori concept which clashed with reality at every point. Our colonial legislation seemed like the work of well-intentioned but ignorant people. The colonies were endowed with truly liberal institutions, but the policy of assimilation which was practiced indiscriminately led to ridiculous or lamentable consequences - metropolitan France still had to learm2 In French Polynesia, the law on land tenure did not enjoy an evolution equal to that occurring in other areas.

  • Pacific Islands
    THE PACIFIC ISLANDS POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TE'O I.J. FAIRBAIRN CHARLES E. MORRISON RICHARD W. BAKER SHEREE A. GROVES THE PACIFIC ISLANDS THE EAST-WEST CENTER was established in Hawaii in 1960 by the United States Congress "to promote better relations and understand­ ing between the United States and the nations of Asia and the Pacific through cooperative study, training, and research:' Some 2,000 research fellows, graduate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's interna­ tional staff on major Asia-Pacific issues relating to population, economic and trade policies, resources and the environment, culture and com­ munication, and international relations. Since 1960, more than 27,000 men and women from the region have participated in the Center's cooperative programs. Officially known as the Center for Cultural and Technical Inter­ change Between East and West, Inc., the Center is a public, non-profit institution with an international board of governors. Principal funding comes from the United States Congress. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agen­ cies and corporations. THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PROGRAM (JRP) became an autonomous program within the East-West Center in 1989. The Program advances the Center's overall objectives through work on foreign poli­ cy and related political, economic, and security issues. Program pri­ orities are to 1) promote research and dialogue directed toward creating a stable, peaceful Asia/Pacific community; 2) identify issues in U.S. re­ lations with the Asia/Pacific region and recommend means of strength­ ening these relations; 3) improve understanding of individual societies of the region through cooperative research; and 4) promote contact and dialogue among the region's future leaders.
