How, asks John Terrell in this richly illustrated and original
book, can we best account for the remarkable diversity of the
Pacific Islanders in biology, language, and custom? Traditionally
scholars have recognized a simple racial division between
Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians, Australians, and South-east
Asians: peoples allegedly differing in physical appearance,
temperament, achievements, and perhaps even intelligence. Terrell
shows that such simple divisions do not fit the known facts and
provide little more than a crude, static picture of human
diversity.
