Polynesian Origins

***BE SURE TO READ THE NARRARATION*** My visual explanation on how DNA evidence supports the "Express Train from Taiwan to Polynesia" theory as well as suggesting another homeland for Polynesians. At the end of the video I list references and strongly suggest looking into the academic work listed. If interested, contact me so I can give you the actual links of the academic sources. These scholarly works shows a whole lot more than the video. This is intended to educate people who are confused about multiple theories, and I touch little on oral traditions although more could be found from the references. The oral traditions however are strictly Hawaiian in origin and other maohi may have different stories or variations of the same stories as Hawaiians. This is not to be misconstrued as an insinuation that people from Oceania are "Asians", a common misconception. I did not include in the video of how Thor Heyerdahl's theory was flawed since his Kon-Tiki raft theory was done by "drifting" from S. America to Polynesia with no regard to the time of season and changing of currents where it reverses, depending on what time of the year it is as proven by Nainoa Thompson and cousin Chad Baybayin and other Hawaiian navigators. This is also supported by the lack of DNA evidence as mentioned in the video. Any non-productive comments that really aren't contributive to the discussion will not be approved. And some of you have been banned only because you can't seem to refute the evidence I used in this video. It's one thing to have an opinion and make these assumptions about me in order to make yourself feel good but marginalizing the indigenous people of the Americas and ridiculing other ethnic and racial groups will not be tolerated, so comments pertaining to those subjects won't be approved and/or you will be banned. Either comment like an adult, or don't comment at all.
