Easter Island people... the narrative may be wrong
#10

At the bottom of your linked article...
 

  1. What percentage of the Rapanui gene pool was found to have Indigenous American origin?
  2. In what time period did the study suggest contact between Polynesians and Indigenous Americans occurred?
  3. What popular theory about Rapa Nui’s history did this study refute?
Answer
  1. About 10% of the Rapanui gene pool has an Indigenous American origin.
  2. The study suggests contact occurred between the 13th and 15th centuries.
  3. The study refuted the “ecocide” theory, which proposed a catastrophic population collapse in the 1600s due to resource overexploitation.
