Oceanic Migration studies the prehistoric peopling of the Pacific.
It uses science and mathematics to expand the research base of
Pacific prehistory and casts new light on this final human
expansion. It explores the fundamental roles of oceanography and of
global climate change in determining the paths, sequence, timing
and range of Spice Island-based maritime migrations ranging across
a quarter of the globe. The book is of interest to Pacific
prehistorians, oceanographers and American anthropologists
concerned with the diffusionist debate. For oceanographers it
presents the new idea of the role of the West Pacific Warm Pool and
of three of its four major currents in determining the evolution of
voyaging in two oceans. For diffusionists it provides new
chronological and technological contexts in which the issue of
diffusionism needs to be reconsidered. For prehistorians it creates
a paradigmatic shift by establishing a new time depth and mechanism
for Polynesian exploration, offers a new view of voyaging and
exploration strategies and of economic imperatives and adds a new
dimension to the debate on Polynesian origins.
