The Seafaring Ancestors of Melanesia

Описание: We discuss the early seafaring Austronesian and Papuan ancestors who formed the genetic and cultural foundation of the Melanesian people. The Papuans were among the first to arrive in what is now Melanesia, thriving in the jungles and mountains of New Guinea for thousands of years. Later, the Austronesians migrated from Taiwan and Southeast Asia, sailing across the Pacific with their advanced canoes and navigation skills.
