Did they come from space, from Egypt, from the Americas? From other ancient civilizations? These are some of today's most fanciful claims about the first settlers of the islands of the Pacific. But none of them correctly answer the question: Where did the Polynesians come from?This book is a thoughtful and devastating critique of such 'new' learning, and a careful and accessible survey of modern archaeological, anthropological, genetic, and linguistics findings about the origins of Pacific Islanders. Professor Howe also examines the twohundredyearold history of Western ideas about Polynesian origins in the context of everchanging fads and intellectual fashions.
