Exploring the origins of the Polynesian people, this volume delves into language, mythology, and genealogies to suggest that Polynesians first arrived in the Pacific around the 1st or 2nd centuries AD from Fiji. Fornander proposes that they are of Aryan descent, having migrated through India and the Malay archipelago. The book includes sections on place names, cardinal points, and mythological narratives, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Polynesian culture and history. A new biography of the author enhances this edition.
