Origin and Migrations of the Polynesian Nation: Demonstrating Their Original Discovery and Progressive Settlement of the Continent of America (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
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.
