MELANESIANS [Ref, L by Lewis, David, editor Sir Oulton, Derek 1972 2nd edition 1992, “We, the Navigators, The Ancient Art of Land-finding in the Pacific” Pub. Univ. Hawaii Press, Honolulu]
MICRONESIANS [RDE note: Circles indicate visual distances about the atolls]
POLYNESIANS [RDE note: The Polynesian migration avoided the Melanesians and leap-frogged the Micronesians expanding northward to Hawaii and southwest to New Zealand]
MELANESIANS
Melanesian history in the Pacific is a fragment of NEGRITO Homo Sapiens saga upon this Earth. His saga extends through the last MINDEL ICE AGES through the RISS ICE AGES then through the current WÜRM-I, WÜRM-II, WÜRM-III, and the WÜRM-IV GLACIATIONS of the current WÜRM ICE AGE.
[RDE note: The TASMAN peoples of TASMANIA are older than the MELANESIANS.]
[RDE note: Today’s humanity lives in societies, called civilizations, which thrive upon agriculture which flourishes during a glacial interval. Should glaciation increase; our population could drop considerably.]
MICRONESIANS
[RDE note: Micronesians and related peoples must have expanded southward, and westward into the Americas from the ANDRONOVO-CORRIDOR acumen, which to the far west includes the European Peninsula.]
Micronesian history in the Pacific is a fragment, a sherd, of CAUCASOID Homo Sapiens history during ice ages and intermediate warm intervals extending from the last RISS ICE AGES through the WÜRM-I, WÜRM-II, WÜRM-III, and the WÜRM-IV GLACIATIONS of the current WÜRM ICE AGE.
[RDE note: There are surprising numbers of Australian Bushman Abrigonees with blond hair, and relative light complexions. We refer to pure-blooded aborigines, not those mixed with the British colonists. They are lighter than is completely comfortable (perfectly adapted to the levels of sunlight about Australia) and they can suffer serious sunburn.
Interestingly the Tasmans are darker than is completely comfortable in Australia and significantly darker than is healthy in overly-cloudy (for them) Tasmania. The Tasman, living totally or almost totally naked suffered some degree of rickets before the Europeans arrives, and the few survivors suffered desperately from rickets the moment they were clothed.]
[RDE note: One of the earliest Micronesian cultures was of continental extent encompassing Australia. The MICRONESIANS probably arrived by sea during the RISS-IV / WÜRM-I WARM INTERVAL when the sea levels were low It dates from perhaps 70,000 BC, and replaced the earlier, and much-darker MELANESIANS. throughout Australia during the WÜRM-I, II, III, IV GLACIATIONS and the warm intervals between them. ]
[RDE note: It’s probable that the lean, relatively fair c. 70,000BC? through c. 30,000BC? to c. 1800AD STRANDLOOPER of southern Africa is from the ANDRONOVO-CORRIDOR acumen and that these people are of Proto-MICRONESIAN extraction.]
[RDE note: The c. 70,000 traces of settlement as hearths and charcoals, and the settlements of c. 30,000 BC of Southern Chile are probably Micronesian……. We suggest that the c. 35,000 BC settlements in Brazil are of European Solutrean c.22,000 BC origins, as are probably also the c. 16,000 and possibly c. 22,000 BC settlements of North Americas Carolinas.]
[RDE note: we do mention that Nostratic-speaking (ancestral to Indo-European, Uro-Altaic, Kartvelian, and others) entered North America c.16,000 to c.9,000 BC (across the AMERASIAN BERINGIA low lands) then expanded across North and South America long before the Oriental (American Indians) arrived.]
[RDE note: The attitude of North American Indians of regions about Oregon; and the Liberal, left-wing, Politically-correct endlessly-noisy social reformers is to be deplored. They have exerted every effort possible to rebury and destroy the KENWICK (Caucasian) MAN of c. 9000 BC. They, though they – and such groups as the NISKAS–only arrived perhaps 2000 to 3000 BC to annihilate the mixed Caucasian and Caucasoids related to MICRONESIANS .known as ATHABASCANS. That persons living in North America at least 6000 years before they set foot in North America are their ancestors is ill-tempered, dishonest-absurdity contrived for current political purposes; which parades as “ethics.”]
[RDE note: A parallel may be drawn with the destruction of c. 27,000BC human remains from UNTERWESTERNITZ, currently called DONLI VESTONICE by the Czechs, earlier (before the Huns massacred the Celts of Bohemia c.400AD) had a Celtic name.]
[RDE note: The Micronesians come from the same groups which gave rise to the AINOID populations which flourished in the Japanese Archipelago from c.13,000 BC through c.11,000 BC when they made pottery, practiced sylviculture cultivating oak for its acorns and nut trees, and fished extensively.]
POLYNESIANS
-1- ANDRONOVA Corridor Clacial-RADIANT
Lascaux I and II c.15,000 BC colonization of the Andronova Cold Prairie was largely out of the European Peninsula but did include significant late-Caucasoid Northward migration of Ainoid Populations. We would, however, classify the Jomon Peoples of the Japanese Archipelago- whose pottery dates to c. 12,000 to 10,000 BC matching the Caucasians of post-Wurm IV north-African Savannah pottery of the same time.
The DRYAS II and DRYAS III GLACIATIONS bracket the four ALLERØD c.9,500 BC warm intervals. Magdalenian Scripts found in today’s central China evidence a Magdalenian migration.
-2- ANDRONOVA –ELAMITE Cold-Drought RADIANT
Pre-Boreal and Boreal centuries are marked by the die-off of cold prairie and with it the megafauna. Evidence including DNA studies, skeletal types, inscribed artifacts, tools, even legends evidence that to the north NOSTRARIC speaking populations [as detailed by paleolinguistists] divided into Proto-Indo European, Altaic, and Uralic speaking populations. Toward the south migrations impelled Nostratic speakers [“Nostratic is a convenient catch-all term”] into S.E.Asia and Burma. [Ur-Oriental populations of Tibet and later sino-don’t Orientals including Han Chinese of the West River Basin in Southern China entered an 8,000 year series of contentions and war with these Caucasians and Caucasoids beginning c. 8000 BC] Eastward Munda, Sumero-Munda, and Sumerians [Related to Basques, and genetically to Welsh and Cornwall populations, with races in southern Ireland] Migrated southward into the Upper Indus (7-Valleys) and Westward into the Zagros foothills and toward today’s Tigris Euphrates Shatt al Arab lowlands.
[RDE note: not really inhabitable until after the violent rains and floods of c. 4500 BC as the Temperate Climatological Vortex shifted northward.]
-3- ANDRONOVA Corridor Dry Lands RADIANT
The earliest impetus out of the Central Asian Andronova, and Elamite Corridors date to the inter-ATLANTIC Cold Droughts and include both the COCHRAN mini-glaciation c. 6000 BC and Black Sea Flood of c. 5800 BC. The POLYNESIAN migration likely begins here.
[RDE note: Some decades ago I viewed the GRIFFON-TABLETS [A few from the Allerød c. 9500 BC the bulk from the Boreal c. 7500 BC ], and with foresight brought along an eidetic child who transcribed them from flawless memory. These tablets are among other evidence being bit-by-bit “brought to light” which should suffice to bring Celtic-Nordic-Greek-Baltic-Slavic-Italic archaeology into the realm of pre and proto-history. Unfortunately, the tablets are largely, perhaps entirely destroyed. The destruction thought to have taken place when skeletons [30,000-year-old] found in the Sudetenland Unterwesternitz (today’s Dolni Vestonice) were obliterated in order that not a shred of evidence would exist testifying to Celts as being the aborigines of Bohemia until Huns annihilated the population of the central areas c.450-500AD, leaving it empty for Czech colonization c 500-900AD. ]
-4- GANGES Delta Oceanic-RADIANT.
c. 4200 BC (as the grand climate optimum ended) to c. 3750 BC (when it finally ended) Indo Aryan Peoples of theCentral Asain ANDRONOVA Corridor impelled by the Kurgan I, Kurgan II, and Kurgan III cold drought moved southward into the GANGES Drainage Basin and then to its DELTA. There they became “blue water mariners.” It is certain that they had knowledge of the MUNDA Peoples about the INDUS Valley, today’s Pakistan, today’s Afghanistan, and today’s Coastal Iran.
[RDE note: that the Munda are related to Sumerians who as early as BC were settling at the mouth of the TIGRIS EUPHRATES and that these peoples had for unknown centuries conducted maritime trade over the PERSIAN GULF the Western INDIAN OCEAN and the RED SEA.]
[RDE note: that before iron tools were available, the SUWALKI and GANGES were difficult to live in and almost impossible to farm. CEYLON and the ANDAMANS already settled by peoples hostile to new immigrants did not welcome the newcomers from north of the Himalayas.]
-5a- MADAGASCAR Settlement submerged by Africans
POLYNESIAN traders, voyagers, and settlers sailed westward to uninhabited MADAGASCAR, and eastward aided by the EQUATORIAL CURRENT by the EQUATORIAL COUNTER CURRENT by the TRADE WINDS, by the MID LATITUDE-RIDGE WINDS and occasionally by NORTHERN TEMPERATE-WESTERLIES and by SOUTHERN TEMPERATE-WESTERLIES.
-5b- SOUTH-EAST Asian Oceanic-RADIANT
Ancestral POLYNESIANS found it easier to sail westward onto the “Te Moana Nui-a-Kiwa” [The Great Ocean-of-Kiwa] than to war with Malayans and Chinese for an Asian acumen.
-6- MARIANAS-CAROLINAS Oceanic Polynesian RADIAN.
[RDE note: That Melanesia was not only occupied and thickly settled but also extending its genotype and languages eastward through the SOLOMONS and HEBRIDES onward to the FIJI ISLANDS and NEW CALEDONIA.]. The Polynesians sailed further to avoid constant war with Melanesians.
-7- The TUAMOTUS Oceanic Polynesian RADIANT
The Tuamotus were contended for by Melanesians and Polynesians; some mingling took place, but the dominant type in this region is Melanesian. It is from here that the Polynesians sailed to found their most successful colonies: New Zealand and Hawaii
