On the morning of November 26, 1778, the 100-foot long, three-masted ship Resolution, captained by the fifty-year old Englishman James Cook, sailed into view off the northeast coast of the Hawaiian island of Maui. The islands Polynesian inhabitants had never seen a European sailing ship before. The sight of the Resolution just beyond the fierce windward surf must have looked as strange to them as a spaceship from another planet. Yet they responded without hesitation. They boarded canoes and paddled to the ship. From atop the rolling swells they offered the sailors food, water, and in the case of the women, themselves.

On can easily imagine the contrast: the European sailors - gaunt, dirty, many bearing the unmistakable signs of venereal disease - and the Polynesians, a people who abided by strict codes of personal hygiene, who washed everyday and plucked the hair from their faces and underarms, whose women had bodies "moulded into the utmost perfection," in the words of one early admirer. At first Cook forbade his men to bring the women on board the ship "to prevent as much as possible the communicating [of the] fatal disease [gonorrhea] to a set of innocent people." In the weeks and months to come, as the Resolution lingered offshore, Cook was far less resolute. Toward the end of 1779, the first of what are today called hapa haoles - Half European, Half Hawaiian - were born on the island of Maui.

Whitey Is Diseased. Don't Interact With Whitey And Don't Let Whitey Interact With Your Women. Have No Relation, Especially Of A Sexual Nature With Whitey! (Europeans Had Evolved Genetic Resistance To A Number Of Diseases By The Time They Began Their Global Exploration And Expansion. The Native Populations That They Came Across And Conquered Were Genetically Unprepared To Deal With The Pathogens They Brought. The Indigenous Populations Had No Innate Immunity Towards Them.)

The nineteenth century stereotype of the South Pacific as a sexual paradise owes as much to the feverish imaginations of repressed Europeans as to the actions of the Polynesians. The young women who swam out to the ships in Hawaii, Tahiti, and other South Pacific islands were from the lower classes, not from the royalty, which carefully guarded its legitimacy. Many were training to be dancers in religious festivals. They would rise in status by exchanging their sexual favors for a tool, a piece of cloth, or an iron nail.

The Polynesians paid dearly for their openness. At least 300,000 people, and possibly as many as 800,000 lived on the Hawaiian Islands when Captain Cook first sighted them (today the total population of the state is about 1.2 million). Over the course of the next century, diseases introduced by Europeans reduced the native population to fewer than 50,000. By the time the painter Paul Gauguin journey to the Pacific in 1891, the innocence that Europeans had perceived among the Polynesians was gone. "The natives having nothing, nothing at all to do, think of only one thing, drinking," he wrote. "Day by day the race vanished, decimated by the European diseases...There is so much prostitution that it does not exist...One only knows a thing by its contrary, and its contrary does not exist." The women in Gauguin's paintings are beautiful yet defeated, without hope, lost in a vision of the past.



Today visitors to Maui land on a runway just downwind from the shore where Captain Cook battled the surf eleven generations ago. Once out of the airport, they encounter what is probably the most genetically mixed population in the world. To the gene's of Captain Cook's sailors and the native Polynesians has been added the DNA of European missionaries, Mexican cowboys, African-American soldiers, and plantation workers from throughout Asia and Europe. This intense mixing of DNA has produced a population of strikingly beautiful people. Miss Universe of 1997 and Miss America of 2001 were both from Hawaii. The former, Brook Mahealani Lee, is a classic Hawaiian blend. Her ancestors are Korean and Hawaiian, Chinese and European.

Bernie Adair - who was selling candles at a swap met in Kahului, Maui's largest town, when I met her - told me that her family's history was typical. Adair, whose ancestors came to Hawaii from the Philippines, married a Portuguese man in the 1960s. In the 1980s their daughter Marlene married a man of mixed Hawaiian, Chinese, and Portuguese descent. Adair's granddaughter Carly, peeking shyly at me from under a folding table, therefore embodies four different ethnicities. "These children have grandparents with so many different nationalities you can't tell what they are," Adair said.

Almost half of the people who live in Hawaii today are of "mixed" ancestry. What it means to be mixed is not at all obvious genetically, but for official purposes it means that a person's ancestors fall into more than one of the four "racial" categories identified on the U.S. census forms: black, white, Native American, and Asian or Pacific Islander. Intermarriage is a cumulative process, so once an individual of mixed ancestry is born, all of that person's descendants also will be mixed. As intermarriage continues in Hawaii - and already almost half of all marriages are between couples of different or mixed ethnicities - the number of  people who will be able to call themselves pure Japanese, or pure Hawaiian, or pure white (haole in Hawaiian) will steadily decline.

Hawaii's high rates of intermarriage have fascinated academics for decades. The University of Hawaii sociologist Romanzo Adams wrote an article titled "Hawaii as a racial melting pot" in 1926, and many scholars since then have extolled Hawaii as a model of ethnic and racial harmony. The researchers have always been a bit vague about the reasons for all of this intermarriage; explanations have ranged from the benign climate to the "aloha spirit" of the Native Hawaiians. But their lack of analytical vigor hasn't damped there enthusiasm. One of the goals of the former Center for Research on Ethnic Relations at the University of Hawaii was "to determine why ethnic harmony exists in Hawaii" and "to export principles of ethnic harmony to the mainland and the world."

...

The rapid growth of interracial marriage in the United States and elsewhere marks a new phase in the genetic history of humanity. Since the appearance of modern humans in Africa more than 100,000 years ago, human groups have differentiated in appearance as they have expanded across the globe and have undergone some measure of reproductive isolation. This differentiation has always been limited by the recentness of our common ancestry and by the powerful tendency of groups to mix over time. Still, many human populations have remained sufficiently separate to develop and retain the distinctive physical characteristics we recognize today.

In Hawaii this process is occurring in reverse. It's as if a videotape of our species' history were being played backward at a fantastically rapid speed. Physical distinctions that took thousands of generations to produce are being wiped clean with a few generations of intermarriage.

The vision of the future conjured up by intermarriage in Hawaii can be seductive. When everyone is marrying everyone else, when the ethnic affiliation of most people can no longer be ascertained at a glance, one imagines that ethnic and racial tensions would diminish. But spending some time in Hawaii shows that the future will not be that simple. Despite the high rate of intermarriage here, ethnic and racial tensions haven't really disappeared. They have changed into something else, something less threatening, perhaps, but still divisive. Hawaii may well be a harbinger of a racially mixed future. But it won't be the future many people expect.

...Every group is a mixture of many previous groups, a fleeting collection of genetic variants drawn from a shared genetic legacy. The Polynesian colonizers of the Hawaiian archipelago are a good example. In 1795 the German anatomist J.F. Blumenbach proposed that the "Malays" - a collection of peoples, including the Polynesians, from southeastern Asia and Oceania - were one of the five races of humanity, in addition to Africans, Caucasians, Mongoloids, and Native Americans. But all of these groups (to the extent that they can be defined) are genetic composites of previous groups. In the case of the Polynesians, the mixing was part of the spread of humans into the Pacific. The last major part of the world to be occupied by humans was Remote Oceania, the widely separated islands scattered in a broad crescent from Hawaii to New Zealand. Before that humans had been living only in Near Oceania, which includes Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago. The humans who settled these regions were adept at short ocean crossings, but they never developed the kinds of boats or navigation skills needed to sail hundreds of miles to Fiji, Samoa, and beyond.

Then, about 6,000 years ago, rice and millet agriculture made the leap across the Formosa Strait from the mainland of southeastern Asia to Taiwan. From there, agriculture began to spread, island by island, to the south  and southeast. With it came two important cultural innovations. The first was the Austronesian language family, which eventually spread halfway around the world, from Madagascar to Easter Island. The second was a suite of new technologies - pottery, woodworking implements, and eventually the outrigger canoe and ways of using the stars to navigate across large expanses of open water. Archaeological evidence shows that people first reached the previously uninhabited island of Fiji about 3,00 years ago. They sailed to Easter Island, their farthest point east, in about A.D. 300 and to New Zealand, their farthest point south, in about A.D. 800.


 One hypothesis known as the express-train model of Polynesian origins, claims that both the knowledge of agriculture and Austronesian languages were carried into the Pacific by people descended almost exclusively from the first farmers who set sail from Taiwan. But genetic studies have revealed a much more complex picture. Mitochondrial and Y-chromosome haplotypes among today's Polynesians show that there was extensive mixing of people in Near Oceania, which eventually produced the groups that set sail for the remote islands. Though many of the mitochondrial haplotypes and Y chromosomes of the Polynesians do seem to have come from the mainland of southeastern Asia and Taiwan, others originated in New Guinea and nearby islands - a geographic region known as Melanesia (named for the generally dark skin of its inhabitants). Geneticist Manfred Kayser and Mark Stoneking of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have dubbed the resulting synthesis the "slow-boat model." According to this model, today's Polynesians can trace their ancestry both to the Austronesian speakers who moved out of southeastern Asia and to the people who already occupied Melanesia.

The Polynesians first reached the Hawaiian Islands around A.D. 400, probably in a migration from the Marquesas Islands. A subsequent wave of people migrated to Hawaii from Tahiti between the twelfth and the fourteenth century. Then the islands saw no more newcomers until Captain Cook's arrival four centuries later.


The discovery of Hawaii by Europeans did not result in an immediate influx of colonists. The early decades of the nineteenth century brought just a trickle of settlers to the islands - washed-up sailors, retired captains, British and Russian traders, missionaries. Large-scale migration began only after the first sugar plantations were established around the middle of the century. In 1852, three hundred Chinese men arrived to work the plantations. Over the next century nearly half a million more workers followed. They came from China, Japan, Korea, Puerto Rico, Spain, Poland, Austria, Germany, Norway, and Russia. Some of these groups have long since disappeared, blending into the genetic background. Others still have a significant ethnic presence on the islands.

A few miles from the Honolulu airport is a vivid reminder of those times. Hawaii's plantation village is one of the few tourist attractions designed as much for the locals as for the mainlanders. It meticulously recreates a camp town of the type that once dotted the islands, housing the workers who toiled each day in the sugar and pineapple fields. Each house along the main avenue reflects the ethnicity of the workers who lived there: a large bread oven sits next to the Portuguese house, rice cookers dominate the kitchen of the Chinese house, crucifixes adorn the walls of the Puerto Rican house. A Japanese shrine is a few doors away from the Chinese society building, Down the hill by the taro fields is a dohyo, a sumo ring, where the workers wrestled every Sunday afternoon.

THERE AREN'T 39,504 FULL BLOODED HAWAIIANS AND HALF HAWAIIANS REMAINING IN HAWAII TODAY. THIS NUMBER IS WAY OFF THE MARK AND MOST LIKELY INFLATED BY HAWAIIANS WHO ARE NEITHER FULLED BLOODED, NOR HALF, BUT CLAIM TO BE (THE MIXED HAWAIIANS WITH ONLY A LITTLE HAWAIIAN DNA WHO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS EITHER FULL OR HALF HAWAIIAN). THE ACTUAL NUMBER IS PROBABLY 10,000 OR LESS (10,000 OR LESS FULL AND HALF HAWAIIANS COMBINED).

The similar dynamic happens in Thailand (I lived there for a few months). The people put on a friendly air for tourists, but there's increasing resentment towards the more successful westerners. Thai men resent western men taking away "their women," violence towards foreigners is still low, but rising.

If the Hawaiians aren't able to economically succeed in the post-free housing era (low average IQ), will they be able to claim "oppression?"

Look at Fiji. Indians have been there for over 100 years, but are still forbidden from owning land, if I recall correctly.
Why is that, and since they make up close to a majority, how bitter it must be, given that they seem to be the economic leaders in Fiji?


As a matter of fact, there's been a lot of trouble in Fiji in the past decade or so, much of it ethnically-based. In fact there was a coup last December.

Steve, folks in Hawai'i with even one drop of Native Hawaiian/Polynesian blood are deemed 'Hawaiian' or other words from the Hawaiian language depending on amount and political leanings nowadays, but ANYONE born and raised there for generations who does not have any amount of such racial stock is deemed both Local and one of the 'Hawaii people' as well as kama'aina. It's an ungainly way of speaking/writing but is done because the folks there are hyper sensitive/conscious their state is named for their ethnic/racial grouping. Here on the mainland after living in Hilo for seven years, I notice this misidentifying faux pas still


Hawaii Congresswoman Blasts Bill O'Reilly For His 'Offensive' Statements On Asians 

There Was Nothing Wrong With This Segment. It Wasn't Racist Or Classist Or Biased. It Was Factual. It Highlighted The Intrinsic Problems With Liberalism And Socialism And How The Welfare State Ultimately Fails Individuals And Society. I'm Glad This Was Made. Hopefully It'll Make People Aware Of The Failure Of Hawaii's Social And Economic Policies.

Here's Another One twitter.com/NaniWaialeale She's Either Full-Blooded Or Half Hawaiian, But Her Religious, Political, And Ideological Beliefs Are Representative Of The Beliefs Of Most Native Hawaiians And Non-Native Hawaiian Inhabitants Of Hawaii. She's Socially Moderate, But Fiscally Liberal And Too Brainwashed To Realize That The Democratic Policies That She Espouses Are Bad For The State Of Hawaii, Bad For Native Hawaiians, And Contrary To The Evolution Of Superior Humans (Social Darwinism).
Native Hawaiians Shouldn't Concern Themselves With That. They Should Only Be Concerned With Reproducing With One Another, And Thus, Perpetuating The Race (Creating Full-Blooded Hawaiians). After Doing This For A Few Generations They Can Start Breeding For Intelligence And Creating A Cultural Ethos That Emphasizes Education And Achieving Status Through Conventional Jobs That Demand A High IQ And High Level Of Education. This Is The Only Way They'll Be Able To Compete With Whites And Asians.

Native Hawaiians Should Take Advantage Of The Welfare State That Whites And Asians Have Created In Hawaii For Their Own Reproductive Purposes (Goals) Until The Welfare State And The Increasing Population Of Native Hawaiians Eventually Backfires On Them (The Whites And Asians). TELL ME If You Understand, Moriyama-San.

When Captain Cook arrived on the island of Kauai in 1778, he was unaware of the ancient voyage the Hawaiians had taken to arrive at this remote spot. He was leading a four-year expedition aboard the Resolution, exploring the north Pacific in an effort to discover the elusive north-west passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Cook named the archipelago the Sandwich Islands, after his benefactor the Earl of Sandwich. The native Hawaiians, although interesting as anthropological specimens, were not accepted as equals - and their own name for their native land was ignored.

Cook noted the primitive character of the people living in Hawaii - in the particular, the fact that they were still living in the 'Stone Age' and had neither the benefit of metallurgy nor written language. In fact, when he first encountered them, their incredulous reaction to the Resolution's nautical equipment led him to infer that they had never been aboard a ship. Yet in spite of their apparently primitive way of life, the Hawaiians had made an epic sea journey in order to reach their home. And it was not unique: the nearest inhabited Hawaiian neighbours are the Marquesas Islands, 3,500 km to the south-east, and beyond that there is another 1,500 km of open ocean before reaching the Society Islands, still in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. If Hawaii had been settled by the most direct route of island-hopping, minimizing the distance travelled between each inhabited island, then there would have been at least two enormous sea passages in addition to many other shorter hops. Clearly this was no accident. The Polynesian seafarers who colonized Hawaii were accomplished sailors, able to travel between distant outposts of dry land throughout the Pacific without the benefit of compasses or clocks to infer longitude.

It is now generally accepted, based on the earliest archaeological evidence for a human presence in Polynesia, that these consummate seafarers made all of their voyages within the past 4,000 years. What led them to make the leap into the unknown world of the Pacific? And if humans had been capable of crossing open oceans since at least the time of the first Australians, why did it take them so long to colonize Polynesia? To find the answers to these questions we will have to take a trip back to Eurasia, in search of the factors that led up to the Polynesian odyssey.

...

We've been through a tour of how culture, from the development of agriculture to local marriage patterns, has had an effect on human genetic diversity. We are now ready to re-evaluate the Hawaiians who were 'discovered' by Captain Cook in the late eighteenth century. Where did they come from, and why had they conquered the Pacific in the last few thousand years.

The first question we can ask is whether there is a linguistic relationship among the Polynesian languages that suggests a source population. The answer is that there is. While Thor Heyerdahl favoured a South American origin for the Polynesians, their languages are more closely related to those spoken in south-east Asia. As early as the nineteenth century, scholars had linked the languages of Polynesia to those spoken in Taiwan (then Formosa) and Malaysia. Today, Taiwan is inhabited by Han-speaking Chinese, but prior to the seventeenth century it was home to aboriginal groups speaking completely different languages. All of these languages were united into one family, Malayo-Polynesian, which became known as Austronesian in the early twentieth century. So, there is clear linguistic data tracing from Hawaii back to Asia, rather than the Americas.

The overlap between the Austronesian languages and the spread of agriculture in East Asia is striking, and the theory which emerged for the peopling of Polynesia is that agriculturalists who had perfected the art of sailing simply hopped from island to island through south-east Asia, eventually heading into the open ocean. The 'Express Train' model, as it became known, predicted a close genetic link between aboriginal Taiwanese and the Polynesians. MtDNA seemed to support this model, although its resolution - as we have seen elsewhere - is often limited. Recent results from the Y-chromosome, though, have suggested that the theory needs to be modified.

The pattern seen for the island south-east Asians is that, while agriculturalists of (ultimately) Chinese origin did have a significant impact on the gene pool, there are a substantial number of indigenous lineages (particularly M130) found throughout Indonesia and Melanesia. These are also present at high frequency in the Polynesians. What this suggests is that after agriculture was introduced to island south-east Asia, it went through a maturation phase as it was adapted to local crops that were better suited to the environment there. Instead of flying past on their express train, the agriculturalists dawdled and dabbled, gradually adapting their culture to its new home. Archaeologist Peter Bellwood has pointed out that the crop yield of Chinese rice strains drops significantly if they are planted near the equator, since they need the variation in day length found only outside the tropics in order to mature. These sorts of pressures would have encouraged agriculture to change as it passed through south-east Asia, in some cases replacing millet and rice with other crops. The Polynesian taro root, ubiquitous throughout the Pacific and used to make Hawaiian poi, reflects this change. The genes also show evidence of a sojourn in south-east Asia before heading out to sea.

The answer to our question of timing, then, can be found in the maturation phase of agriculture. It was only after a fully mature tropical variant of agriculture had taken root that the proto-Polynesians  were able to set sail for undiscovered lands. They took with them their crops, confident in their ability to survive wherever they came ashore. Hunter-gatherers would never have been able to make this leap into the unknown ocean - repeatedly - because they had no idea what lay beyond the horizon. The Polynesians, though, as inheritors of a well-adapted agricultural tradition, were in control of their own destinies. They may have been encouraged to set sail by an expanding population at home (another consequence of agriculture), but their unique solution was only possible because they had the choice of sailing into the unknown. And it was the pursuit of an ever-increasing spectrum of choices that would produce the final Big Bang of human evolutionary history.

Human societies frequently display similar territoriality. Why are some cultures intent on taking over their neighbors while others are content to stay at home? Some interesting clues come from examining the Polynesian region of the Pacific. Between 1200 B.C. and A.D. 1000, many of these islands were populated by people of the same genetic and cultural heritage. Some became warlike and other did not. Why?

In a word: agriculture. Many islands were to cold to support crops, and the inhabitants survived by hunting and gathering. This is a relatively tough way to get calories, and consequently, the populations remained small. These cultures had loose political structures, no armies, and peaceful outlooks.

To the south, life grew steadily easier. The inhabitants of these islands were able to cultivate crops in the warmer territory. Their more dependable and plentiful food supply led to bigger families. But their populations soon became swollen and, running out of room to grow, they became warlike. These cultures stored food in greater quantities, developed military skills, and fought one another.

The lesson is clear: along with high population density comes competition for resources, and with competition comes conflict. Across a wide variety of cultures we see a similar pattern. The !Kung San, for example, subsist at low population densities in the Kalahari Desert and have the same peaceful organization as that of the Polynesian foragers.

ONCE POLYNESIAN SOCIETIES DEVELOPED AGRICULTURE AND BEGAN RELYING LESS ON HUNTING AND GATHERING FOR SUBSISTENCE, POPULATION* SIZES GREW AND WITH GROWING POPULATION SIZES CAME MORE COMPETITION FOR RESOURCES (FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, LAND, MATES, ETC). CONSEQUENTLY, GREATER INTERGROUP COMPETITION FOR THESE RESOURCES LED TO FACTIONALISM, TERRITORIALISM, AND WARFARE WITHIN AND AMONG THESE POLYNESIAN SOCIETIES. AS A RESULT, GENES THAT PREDISPOSED POLYNESIANS TO AGGRESSION, COMBATIVENESS, DOMINANCE, TERRITORIALITY, AND IMPULSIVENESS ALLOWED THEM TO SUCCEED IN THIS NEW AGRICULTURAL BASED ENVIRONMENT (THESE GENES ARE STILL AT A HIGH FREQUENCY IN THESE ONCE WARRING POLYNESIAN POPULATIONS).

The cluster of pacific islands that straddle the international dateline in the South Pacific, including Samoa and American Samoa, have funneled hundreds of players into American football and Australian rugby. Since the early 1970s, these tiny islands have produced no less than fifty NFL players, beginning with the "Throwin' Samoan," all-American quarterback Jack Thompson from Washington State University in 1976. "[Football] is like legalized village warfare," explains Thompson. "There's an innate competitiveness in the warrior sense in Polynesian culture." It doesn't hurt that Pacific Islanders tend to be both large and explosively fast.
