  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking research that reshapes the history of Rapa Nui, or Easter Island. Ancient DNA analysis debunks the long-standing "ecocide" theory and uncovers a resilient population with complex social structures. More strikingly, the study reveals pre-European contact between Rapanui and Native Americans, challenging our understanding of human migration across the Pacific. Tune in as we explore the resilience of the Rapanui people, the implications of this discovery for repatriation efforts, and the mysteries of ancient trans-Pacific connections!https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07881-4
