Genetic History of the Pacific Islands: Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia 

Masaman how do you conduct your research?

Masaman I Love your channel Bro! very accurate!

Masaman Hi.. I have a few questions. Im very intrigued with Pacific Islanders as well. They're just so desolated n under talked about. Why do Micronesian have tight curly afro like hair n a dark complexion? I see Papua New Guineans and Aborigenes (i dnt think I spelt that right) look like they're from Africa, some look a bit south indian as well. Also, some say south east asians are polynesians.. True or False? They say the people of Borneo have polynesian blood. Also... out of context but what is ur ethnicity? n if u're in college or was in college, What was ur major?

love your videos can you make a video israeli ethnicities.

love your videos can you make a video for different types ethnic groups of israel.

🇹🇴🔥

As a Pacific islander I don't give a sh!t and don't need some random guy I have no connection to acknowledge us for validation.

Ahhahahhahahaha true dat. Cheeee hooooo

Yes Polynesians are racially mix people with Melanesians.

i'm so proud to be a pacific islander

Really they are. I am a White Man.

Yessir they are I can vouch for that my ancenstor from china p.s. genghis khan is one

YEAH WE ARE!!😂💕

Thaàaats right

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Looks like to me they are all the same and come from the same people. They started out one way and between the Japanese and Europeans, they mixed in and well, we all know the rest...

I agree we are all islanders even if Aotearoa is big it still has polynesian people on it

FACTS💯

Thank you for finding our culture interesting 🙂

Vrlo su interesantni slazem se

We're not that interesting tbh. We're boring simpletons.

@@no8604 speak for yourself matausi

@@no8604 Hey tamana let them take interest in our culture moce😏👋

avilik13 That's right! Polynesian are not same people with Fijian but they have close relationship, especially with Tonga.

RATU Junior tui rewan nasinu prince if Samoans are Chinese mutts does that make Fijians Indian mutts? Just shut your stupid ignorant uneducated ass up. The Chinese and those with part Chinese ancestry in Samoa make up less than 5% whilst Indians make up more than half of the Fijian population. Idiot. Just about every Pacific country was colonized and Samoa was the first Pacific Island nation to gain independence. And despite Fiji having close ties to Polynesia like I said in my original comment, Fiji is still majority Melanesian and only has small groups of Polynesians plus the Rotumans. Also, a lot of Polynesian lore dictates Samoa, more specifically Savaii is the motherland of the Polynesian people. And controversial but it's believed Tonga got it's name from 'itu i toga' which means south because it's south of Samoa. Where do you think places like Havaii, Uporu, Hawaii and Hamoa get their names? And Havaiki said to be where Eastern Polynesians came from? It's dumbasses like you spewing uneducated unsubstantiated nonsense that divides our people. Kae.

RATU Junior tui rewan nasinu prince how are you gonna tell me, someone with bloodlines entrenched in Savaii, that I don't know my own history? LOL

RATU Junior tui rewan nasinu prince please tell me where exactly the Fijian ties on those islands are.

RATU Junior tui rewan nasinu prince there is Samoa mythology tied to Fiji like Sina ma le Tuna and Vae o Moso but please show me where Samoa is a part of the Fijian kingdom.

@Sateki Taulanga Except most of these comments ought to be questions because, as corrections, they mostly belong in the circular file. Just people talking whimsically or superficially, as if they know something. In fact they are talking out of their behinds. There's a scientific reason why people are grouped as Melanesian, Micronesian, Polynesian. Distinctions of language types, distinct cultural differences, and haplo groupings, this is all standard fare in Anthropology. Languagewise, all three belong to the Austronesian language family. Similar to the way Spanish, Italian, Portuguese are in the Latin family. In a 10 minute video, how much can one pack in? (BBC has a five part series on here, each one 48 mins long and they couldn't pack in all details. But really worth the price of admission--free! :). . . And, if you love reading, Christina Thompson's The Sea People is worth the time and money). It's true that there's a strain of African origins, but chronologically, that is so distant in the past that while it's a fact, it wasn't relevant to this video, though it showed up in the graphic with all the arrows showing the movements over time. The earliest time frame relevant to this video is 1000 BC. Africa would have been relevant in the 4,000 - 5,000 BC range or perhaps even further back. Maoris arrived in NZ only about 800 years ago. By the way, Taiwan is more recent Africa by far in the chronology, but still not relevant to this video so it wasn't mentioned. But geneticists and linguists have traced the Polynesian people back to Taiwan, where the indigenous people there today still have many words that are found in the Polynesian language. Hence they are considered to have originated from Asia. But before Taiwan, there was some other places going back, and going even further back by several thousands of years, you get to Mozambique. So the kind of "corrections' down below really work better as questions. As sniping, not so much.

@@happyhaze1526 tldr

PandaSnot 17 its not about making our own videos, its about US not putting information out there as if its correct, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the pcific where westerners DONT know who we are.

Ok I guess?

I understand but it’s just criticism not hate. Just ask them

I'm American and feel the same.

New Zealand is a Pacific island with Polynesian natives dickhead

New Zealand IS a pacific island/s. It's really upsetting to see people view New Zealand to be seperate from the rest of the Pacific islands when it's NOT

New Zealand is part of the Pacific with similar culture. This is very different to Australia.

New Zealand and Australia are still part of the South Pacific islands because of its indigenous peoples

Fr

😂😂👏👏

You are correct! 😥

Right lmfao... Wtf

They weren't kidnapped. Their own leaders traded them for resources from the Europeans. FACTS......

Guam and hawaii are Pacific islanders but are not usually included because they are US territory,...and new Zealand as well because of white dominance I guess

I think I might be both Papuan and Austronesian , I look like a PNGean but not really like a native native Papuan. Hope you get what I mean.

@@rossittanotere6258 totally understand! There's definitely mixes of groups and culture and that's why we are so DIVERSE in appearances 😁! Are you also from PNG? I'm from Papua New Guinea and my family comes from the islands (predominantly austronesian descent) surrounding the mainland(predominantly papuan). In physical appearance and cultural terms we're sort of different from most ethnic groups from the mainland. But that's rlly cool to hear from someone like you😄

@@larren1581 aww thanks and yess I'm a Papua New Guinean too🇵🇬😍😘👊

I have some Papuan in my ancestry, my dna results says some Melanesian and I’m trying to look into it. I’m mainly Native American and European. I do know my 4x great grandma was a Spanish explorer who spent some time in Papuan , which that could be where I have Melanesian from

@@danicamarie6640 THAT'S. SO. COOL! Obviously it makes perfect sense since PNG did encounter quite few Spanish and Portuguese explorers as well as British and German colonisation. Welcome to the family! We could be long lost cousins😅

if this guy is gonna do a topic on the history of these territories he needs to stop stating incorrect assumptive information, also why not mention Africans? This is why you can't get your education from RU-vid.

Why would he mention Africans? What do Africans have to do with the Pacific Islands?

Dennis Evans She's probably referring to early populations of people that were said to have migrated out of Africa.

Dennis Evans it was and is the foundation .. why mention Europeans and they immigrated there?🤷🏽‍♂️

The video is about the genetic history of Pacific Islanders. When non-Pacific Islanders immigrated to the islands and had kids with indigenous populations, the genetic make up of those islands changed ie Pitcairn Island. Populations of Africans didn't emigrate from Africa to the Pacific Islands in order to impact any Pacific Islanders or indigenous Australians genetics so why would he talk about their impact on people which have very distinct genes from them?

PNG LeagueTV yes I met an adult woman from the Solomon Islands and she still had blonde in her hair.

Of-course! There's many in papua new guinea as well

Hyperion Prime It's not, it can occur entirely independent. The blonde gene in melanesians is entirely different from the European variant

Hyperion Prime Did you not hear what he said?

Hyperion Prime That's pretty fucking subjective mate

0lease post me so e links to the Arctic and antarctic. Tbh those points feel like a stretch. But they were trading sweet potato supposedly.

And he won’t Bc they are rewriting history in the USA to force a lie on who was here when the Europeans arrived! Wait until u find out afro Americans are not lying when they say they were here when Europeans and Africans arrived!

Yep its called the Drua .currently in Super rugby 🤣🤣🤣 Dou Bula .

I don’t know bout best seafarers lol. The rest of Polynesia/Micronesia/Melanesia had their legendary Vakas also

M Wallace BECAUSE HE IS TELLING HIS HISTORY! HIS TRUE!

The horribles things arent affecting you at all nowadays but the good things theyve done are

Since the late 18th century, "Europeans" in Australia have included a very high proportion of Irish or Irish-origin people, probably about a third of the white population of Australia during all those genocides you were talking about.

I hear you. Irish went through a lot too. The Germans came to what is now Britain and ran the Irish out of it making you live in the small islands. That's not where it stopped of course.

M Wallace did you know what those named Irish did to the indigenous twa pygmies

Yes indeed, PNG have a diverse culture and also have different features and 800+ different languages, for instance, Papuans features are quite similar to Polynesian and they also adopt some of their culture whilst New Guineans have a similar features of the Native Aborigines. Can the presenter do a video on PAPUA NEW GUINEA🇵🇬🇵🇬 I'm very interested and it's also educatioal🙏👍

Yes...particularly Central people in Papua New Guinea have some features of Micronesians and Polynesians...

Awesome Brother

one love from melanesian living in Bali

chiron14pl Lol NZ Maori and NZ as a land where once a British protectorate under NZs constitution that obviously didn't work out well in the end.

The Tongans need be VERY proud NZ Tahiti and Hawaii native governments went bust.

That's honestly sad. A lot of us Polynesians lost our cultures due to colonization. White people don't want to hear it anymore because they don't want to feel guilty

jogatu yeah but natives did a lot to destroy their own cultures. Try studying what happened to the Kapu system in Hawaii

Don't forget 'Uvea&Futuna :) (These 2 french islands are between fidji tuvalu samoa and tonga) Even if we're French now we still preserve our culture which was mixed with Tongans/Fijians/Samoans Btw Uvean language is rrrreaaaalllyyyyy reaallyyyyy close to Tongan with Niuafo'ou accent! Same things for Futuna but their language and dances is similar to samoans/niueans🤔 And soooo yeah this is all I can say about it 🇼🇫🇼🇫

@ Skye ID They are probably the ONLY group of people who can have blonde hair without having any European ancestry.

Lol that's what you got out of this? Ok...

There's no such thing as European DNA. There's at most a distinction to be made based on a historical trace of the DNA haplogroups, in which there's probably a group to be found that can be called "European". In the old blonde New Zealand folklore there's a tale that tells the history of the blonde race before they came to New Zealand. They fled from Persia/India because of a bloody war (read Mahabarta), whereafter some of them travelled further to South America (Peru). This becomes more and more unbelievable as it continues, however a trace on DNA haplogroups does confirm that a large group of people in India/Pakistan holds strong similarities to the blond New Zealander, and with a specific group of humans in the South America's. It reads like a fairy tale :p

+Gerrit Jaap do you mean the patupaiare which is folklore

neurocytohemotoxic no... just no

LukanorPride; One thing about the dwendling original Melanated Human populations all throughout earth is we are always so appreciative to be acknowledged by others, too willing to open our doors to our lands and cultures, too giving. This is how the conquests and conquering and dilution of your ancetrial identity starts..the fascination and admiration, the visitors become you and your forefathers and foremothers become a part of your secrets and shame.. We need to learn to be mindful in order to continue to exist is to stop opening doors and hearts too widely to foreigners if in fact genetics and culture is important to keep in tact. That's not racism, but just preservation. Europeans practice preservation of their original cultures, European ethnicity amongst themselves more successfully than we do globally. And no one ever ridicules or questions that basic right understanding. That in order to have identity you must keep true to it, acknowledge and teach your true identity and take pride in it.

Thats so sad,I get those blank stares too when I tell them I'm a Melanesian from Maluku.

White Man here, You are welcome. Thank me later.

well.....not to be a total dickhead but........considering a lot of Americans can't even pinpoint there own country/state on a world map........i see this not as an achievement but rather basic information that is not needed but useful and makes you a better human-being in total but you are right about all the people making comments on his pronounciation, like he put in effort and all to make this for everyone......the least people can do is thank him for it thank you maker of this video, as an western-Europian citizen i haven't learnt a single thing about even one of the many islands in the pacific (except for New-Zealand......but since it's so big for an ''island'' that one don't count haha)

Mic drop 👏🏽 Our natural inclination to be hospitable to visitors destroyed our cultures. And what you said about the visitors becoming our ancestors couldn’t have been more true, and European colonization speaks true to those facts.

sydney wilson oi it’s not that hard fam lol jus find out what island your from 💁🏾

Basics here Almost all of us(Melanesia, Polynesia and micronesia) Speak Austronesian languages But in melanesia they speak some languages called the Papuan languages which extended to Timor Leste

Don't you know Australia and The island of New Guinea was once connected together as a one big land mass?? ..... Don't you know thousands of aboriginals were killed when the first White settlers came to Australia ; it was even legal in those days to kill an aboriginal on sight (this history is not usually spoken off)... this is a major contribution of the dying full blooded aboriginals......they just cover this story by saying because of mix marriages the pure blooded aboriginals is dying away.....one diminishing race on Earth. On the other hand, west New Guinea is still under Indonesia and wanting to be free( they don't have freedom of speech) they go by Indo rule. Meanwhile East New Guinea (Papua new Guinean) the independent half of the island still can't manage well all the gold copper, gas and other natural resources it has in abundance so is relying on Australian Aid, Year in Year out, still breast feeding from mama Australia......and now Mama China is here with her big boops trying to have dominance over PNG and the Pacific Islands...... so US and Auzie are shaken by the appearance of mama China in the Pacific liklik stori tasol✌️😊

I noticed that too 😂

I was confused by Sal-e-Donia LOL.

Calvin Indians remained in Fiji because they didn't have means to return to India as most were poor laborers. The British had put such hard conditions like they have to work as slaves to 12 years in sugarcane fields so that they could they could then return to India sponsored by British authorities, or else they would have to go on their own. Similar to those who now inhabit Caribbeans. Pls don't spread wrong information.

Calvin-They had a choice to leave or stay and many also left and it had nothing to do with the caste system. Maybe you need to read up on the Tamil of South India travelling across the South Pacific all the way to South America in the ships including the South Island of NZ there are records available if anyone wants to research! As for the colonisation of the Fijian Islands there were Giants on some of these lands including people known as 'leka' or the small people who only came out at sunset! The work of these giants are visible today in oneIsland that I know of but you will be lucky if the traditional owners will show you their handy work of massive solid granite structures in the shape of a "table" used for eating and rocks shaped for sitting on etc etc. The songs and dancer about these giants are still known by Elders but no longer performed!

@@sereanaduwai8313 According to Indian historians the Tamil's had a decent sized empire that extended from the South Indian Oceans to the Seas around South East Asia. Literally no sources mentioning them going through the pacific ocean.

Why can’t the Indian leave ?

@@bedruceisaiah5086 cos they lost the indian identity over generations

The Yapese language is a language isolate amongst nuclear micronesian languages and according to current research it is suggested that it may have a strong affainity to the melanesian cluster of oceanic languages. I hypothesis that the Yapese language may be related to the Manus languages of PNG particularly "Wavulu Au" language group.

@@turanatomeko so I'm not to far off then. Thanks for the info.

people of Papua island of Manus are close relatives of Yap people sure Trobrianese are for me Melanesia-#partly Polynesian Tahitian so they are more close to first Tahitian when James Cook arrived or Bounty mutiny to the Tahiti

I'm not from Vuvulu but can you give some words in Yapese so I try confirm the similarities

I have been to the Philippines and I found out that alot of Filipinos resemble my people.

Great to hear. It's quite unfortunate that there's a lot of animosity and disinterested folks from the Pacific islands community when it comes to rekindling the ancient connection between southeast Asia and the Pacific. Oh well science is fact whether you believe it or not.

look nothing alike, ik manny pac look nothing like my cousins

Filipinos are short tbh...and we Polynesians are just so big and tall. But the facial features are definitely there lol...someone mistaken my islander dad to be a tall Filipino lol. Filipinos are the most kind hearted ppl

@@ufa7429 Because island gigantism is a phenomenon, most of Polynesia is literally just austronesian but taller and larger.

Sorry, I have European ancestry and was born here. I am an indigenous New Zealander. A native. The Maori who were here before my people, are also indigenous or native to this land.

avilik13 haha Same! and Itaukei very Kaivalgi Palagi 😂

Yes, this was my only critique of the video.

Anthony Broxton Most of Jamaica's ethnic groups are almost non-existent. Apart from the influx of new Chinese and Indians most other racial groups have dissipated.

Samoan storm, how many layers u got on ur stomach??

To:(Samoan Storm) Be nice....All Pacific Islanders from Micronesia,Polynesia and Melanesia need to unite and get a long with eachother because we are truly a small minority in this World.

The Melanesians are not indigenous to Polynesia scientific argument tells a different story Melanesians never explored or settled outwards of the islands of Melanesia! They weren't sea explorers and navigators! Look at the science these were Polynesians who explored, both Polynesians and Melanesians are descendants of the Lapita People the original people who discovered Melanesia! Search google!

That is true Melanesians, Polynesians and Micronesians are just a mix of the original Pacific Islanders which are the Lapita people. The Lapita people have dark skin and have sailed and conqured the whole of the pacific, after that they sailed to south America intermarried with the asians there and sailed back to the Pacific creating Polynesians. Melanesians were to far to reach so the melanesians still kept their Lapita genes after intermarring with papuans which weren't Lapita and then produced the diverse melanesians we see today.

+Calvin, spot on. Thank you and well said.

@@jgriftz1905 The Lapita people are FIJIANS not Polynesians.....fijians still make CLAY POTS with the same designs that was found around the Pacific....and alot of fiji isles still have canoes and still know the art.(waqa vaka viti) ...a lot of people deny this fact because were dark skinned especially polynesia ns........and alot of Tongan and Samoans came to fiji to learn the art of voyage back in the days even Tongan royalty kidnapped some fijians just to build their canoes but they keep denying this fact too........fijians build canoes that is so large that's bigger than EXPLORERS ships. ......

As a Marshallese that went to a Micronesian Olympic Games in Pohnpei many years back, I can definitely distinguish between Eastern and western Micronesians lol

@@TheFlyingFish692 right! I can see a lot of similarities with my people, Pohnpeians Kosraeans, Marshallese and maybe Kiribati but like Yapese and Palauans are so different. Also for the most part, you can also tell who is western Micronesian just by looking at them. They kinda look different than us. I remember my dad used to take me and my brother to his Yapese friends houses and it felt like a whole other world.

Speaking of Yap, the legendary Mau Piailug (RIP) who is endeared by many as Papa Mau, is from Satawal. Would he be considered a part of the western Micronesians?

@@StickyKeys187 Good question. Yeah no, he wouldn’t be considered Western Micronesian. Western Micronesian are just the Chamorro, Yapese, and Palauans. HOWEVER… The southwest islands of Palau and the outer islands of Yap are located in Western Micronesia but the people speak Chuukic languages. Satawal is one of the outer islands of Yap. Even though I’m from the Mortlocks (between Chuuk lagoon and Pohnpei) I can understand Satawalese. Satawal is part of Yap state, but the people are more related to the people in Chuuk state. The real Yapese (Yap proper) compared to people of the outer islands of Yap are 2 different peoples, but they share a history together. The people of the Yap outer islands went to Yap to trade (which is why when the federated states of Micronesia became a country, they were included with Yap state).

Lol here in Australia pacific islands and NZ tourism is one of the most well known!. Exactly what the pacific islanders don't want hoards of tourists and mega pollutant modern development and I m guessing this all comes from Asia nowadays ahem Malaysia. Keep the pacific untouched I don't know what planet youre from but tourism and cruise ships are the Pacific's most developed industries. Again it's good people from your part of the world dong care about visiting as the less people the more natural secluded beauty remains.

I'm from one of the Pacific islands and to put it nicely, it's good that we don't get much tourism traffic to the region. Most of the islands are already densely populated as it is, if lots of people flocked to the islands, the culture and way of life would have to give way for tourism development. Those who do have the honor of visiting the islands need to keep the status quo and keep everything on the down low. Most of the islands in the pacific because of their isolation, are timeless and you truly take a step back in time when you visit them. That's probably the thing that separates us from say the Caribbean Islands.

suffered? what is this suffering you speak of?
