A most interesting book I have is " Man on the Rim ", the peopling of the Pacific.It used to be a TV show, on the ABC, I think. From this, they say DNA suggests Micronesians, and some Polynesians [ especially the Tongans]have the DNA of early natives of Taiwan, who came from Central China, 500,000 years ago. They originated from African man,[ Homo erectus] 800,000 years ago, one branch of which went to central China, the other to Java, 1,000,000 years ago.
The Chinese mob migrated down thru Taiwan, [Homo sapians, East Asia] the Phillipines, New Guinea, and into Australia 40,000 years ago.A third group migrated from Indonesia [ Homo Sapians, South East Asia] to New Guinea [the Melanesians] and Australia 40,000 years ago, and even another group came down from the Phillipines, to New Britain, [ Polynesians, Micronesians] 30,000 years ago, then 3,500 years ago the Solomons, on to Fiji, 3,000 years ago, Samoa, Tonga, and to Tahiti.2,000 years ago. From Tahiti, 1600 years ago to Hawaii,1500 years ago to Easter Island, and 1,000 years ago to New Zealand.
Also of interest is that , from the Chinese group, 40,000 years ago they migrated to Siberia, [ Homo erectus]] across the Bering Strait to North America 20,000 years ago, [ East Coast] then down to South America .
