| | Despite this, many scientists still believe Polynesian society emerged from a small group of individuals out of the 'big man' Melanesian society, despite the fact that they have very little in common. | | | In this article I will not only look at the genetic trail which Polynesians have left, but also identify; archaeological evidence, linguistic evidence and ancient legends which all reinforce genetic evidence. | | | Thirdly, due to rising sea levels since the last ice age, a great deal of evidence of maritime civilizations that have preceded us has been obliterated. |

| | Polynesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Because of a strong readiness to accept new ideas, and due to relatively large numbers of Christian missionaries in the islands, Polynesians readily adopted Christianity. | | | They used a thirty-two point pelorus, also called a dummy compass, which they probably adopted from the Arabs before they colonized into the Pacific from India. | | | This is supported by archeaological evidence as well as the introduction of flora and fauna consistent with the Polynesian culture, which lives in the tropics, to this non-tropical island. |

| | Wayfinders : Polynesian History and Origin |
| | The early European explorers who first encountered the Polynesians could not believe that a stone age people, with only simple sailing canoes and no navigational instruments, could themselves have discovered and settled the mid-Pacific islands. | | | The trail of linguistic evidence clearly marked the direction of migration, and he therefore sought to explain how canoe voyagers could have moved eastward into the Pacific against the direction of the trade winds. | | | Whereas these would make it relatively easy for voyagers from South America to sail westward with the wind into the Pacific, steady trade winds would seem to present a formidable obstacle for any voyagers sailing eastward across the ocean. |

| | Polynesian Mythology |
| | The primordial state in which the creator dwelt or from which all things emerged was described as a void, nothingness, chaos, immensity, space, night or darkness, and in an attempt to free the concept even more, it was qualified as limitless without light, without form or without motion. | | | The early missionaries laboured to destroy belief in the Polynesian concepts of the world and the origin and the power of the local gods. | | | The Polynesians lived in a world created by their gods and heroes and felt a close involvement with them. |

| | Polynesian societies combined a strong authority structure based on genealogical ranking that was useful for mounting long expeditions and founding island colonies. | | | Only after many years of learning how to voyage long distances, and to survive on the high islands and atolls they found in the sea, did the ocean-oriented Polynesian culture take on its classic form. | | | Sails made of matting drove this ancient forerunner of the modern catamaran swiftly through the seas, and long steering paddles enabled Polynesian mariners to keep it sailing on course. |
