Affinities among Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians: a neutral biparental genetic perspective.

Human biology - 1 Jun 2002

Lum J Koji, Jorde Lynn B, Schiefenhovel Wulf

Abstract excerpt

The human colonization of Remote Oceania, the vast Pacific region including Micronesia, Polynesia, and Melanesia beyond the northern Solomon Islands, ranks as one of the greatest achievements of prehistory. Many aspects of human diversity have been examined in an effort to reconstruct this late Holocene expansion. Archaeolinguistic analyses describe a rapid expansion of Austronesian-speaking "Lapita people" from...
