Origin and Migrations of the Polynesian Nation (Classic Reprint): Demonstrating Their Original Discovery and Progressive Settlement of the Continent of America - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Discover the origins of Polynesian peoples and their remarkable Pacific journeys.
This historical exploration traces how scholars, explorers, and sailors pieced together where the Polynesian nation began, and how its people spread across the vast Pacific to become part of two continents. The work surveys ideas about Asiatic and Malayan roots, and discusses the evidence researchers use—from language and customs to architectural remains and ancient high places.
Readers will encounter direct comparisons between Polynesian culture and other ancient sites, including terraces, pyramids, and large stone structures. The author presents the case for long ocean voyages, cross‑ocean migrations, and the enduring question of who settled America and how these journeys were imagined and demonstrated.
- A clear overview of how scholars tested theories about Polynesian origins and migrations.
- Examples of cultural and architectural clues used to connect distant civilizations.
- Discussion of historical debates and the quest for evidence across oceans.
- Context for readers interested in anthropology, navigation, and world history.
Ideal for readers curious about ancient exploration, cross‑ocean contact, and the long, intertwined history of the Pacific world.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the origins and migrations of the Polynesian peoples, delving into the linguistic, cultural, and historical evidence to shed light on their remarkable journey across the vast Pacific Ocean. The author, drawing on extensive research, presents a compelling case for the Polynesian peoples' Asiatic origins, tracing their roots to the Malayan race. The book argues that the Polynesians, a maritime people with a rich oral tradition, likely embarked on perilous voyages from the Indian Archipelago, driven by chance or war, and gradually settled the countless islands of the Pacific. The author examines the striking similarities in language, customs, and religious beliefs between the Polynesians and their Malayan ancestors, building a strong case for their shared heritage. The author's exploration of the Polynesian taboo system, the distinction of caste, and numerous Asiatic customs and practices among the Polynesians offers a rich understanding of their cultural and societal development. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of Polynesian history and culture, providing a comprehensive and thought-provoking account of their origins and migrations. Its insights illuminate the remarkable journey of this seafaring people, who traversed vast oceans and established thriving societies throughout the Pacific.
