講題：
Whence the Eastern Polynesians ?Overcoming the Orthodox Paradigm of ‘Out of Taiwan’ and its Focus on Samoa
日期：
二〇二三年四月十日（一）下午二時半
地點：
中央研究院歷史語言研究所研究大樓703會議室
摘要：
The belief that Eastern Polynesia was settled from Samoa is strongly influenced by the ethnogenetic model of Kirch and Green, which argues that an Archaic East Polynesian cultural horizon derived from Ancestral Polynesian Society in western Polynesia prior to 2,000 BP. As such, it is an extension of the Out of Taiwan ‘fast train’ hypothesis, favouring relative isolation and cultural continuity. Crucially, it also requires a linguistic tree that has eastern Polynesian languages branching early from the Samoic and Outlier languages. However, subsequent revision of radiometric dates for eastern Polynesia now place settlement ~1,000 BP. Further, recent population genetic studies consistently find evidence for large-scale ongoing migration post-Lapita into the ancestors of today’s Polynesians, thereby invalidating the assumption of isolation. Moreover, the analysis of William (Pila) Wilson provides an alternative linguistic tree that predicted these late dates for the divergence of eastern Polynesian languages and places their origin, not in Samoa, but among the Polynesian speaking communities of the eastern Solomon Islands. These belong to the twenty-three so-called Outliers spread throughout Melanesia and Micronesia, which, as their collective noun implies, have historically had a marginal role in the history of Polynesian studies. Here, I review the recent genetic evidence from the leeward Society Isles, considered to be the ancient cultural hub of eastern Polynesia.
