European seafarers were limited before the invention of clocks to determine latitude. Polynesians used astral navigation centuries earlier to become what Sir Peter Buck called the Vikings of the Sunrise.

Today is International Poke Day
Today honors poke (pronounced poh-kay), the traditional Hawaiian dish of diced raw fish. Native Polynesians originally prepared poke hundreds of years ago using cubed raw reef fish seasoned with sea salt, seaweed (limu) and crushed candlenut (inamona).

were basically quarantined for years
Same with Polynesians
So at what point would someone that hasn't been quarantined started a pandemic?
When did immunities diverge enough for that?
After the very first pandemic in the old world caused by livestock?
That would be my guess at least

i guess there were recent discoveries of denisovan bones found near taiwan which were comparatively large (6ft+ & 200#) vs neanderthals, which just makes me wonder is that why polynesians are bigger today? it was from that austronesian area that it is believed polynesia was populated, right? 🤔

The discovery of 🇺🇸, though, wasn't by Columbus. It was discovered earlier by the Norse/Vikings, or possibly by the Polynesians.
(Then there's the ancestors of the Native Americans, of course.)

I much prefer to use immigrant. I’ve had British and South African immigrants refer to themselves as expats and in the same conversation refer to Indians and Polynesians as immigrants. They instinctively used the term to lift themselves above the brown immigrants.
Don’t think they appreciated it

Not related but also more recent and yet there is still some academic doubt that Polynesians during the extensive ocean expansion period reached South America (when they already reached Easter Island) instead thinking that ocean currents carried sweet potatoes to Polynesia by accident

The Hawaiians have long believed that Japanese fishermen and Spanish shipwreck survivors had previously visited, intermarrying with local people. Hawaiian King David Kalākaua wrote in 1888 that it “had been pretty satisfactorily established” that a Spanish galleon arrived as early as 1555.
Were Spanish Explorers In Hawai‘i Before Captain Cook?
Debate rages on who showed up on the islands after the first Polynesians landed. Japanese fishermen? Spanish shipwreck survivors?

Deep-ocean voyaging, celestial navigation — the Polynesians were masters at it. Infamously known for wayfinding, Polynesian people voyaged across the vast blue Pacific Ocean basin using the sun, stars, waves, and nature around them.
