Disseminating what is currently known about the skeletal biology of
the ancient Rapanui and placing it within the wider context of
Polynesian skeletal variation, this volume is the culmination of
over thirty years of research into the remotely inhabited Easter
Island. Compiling osteological data deriving from Rapanui skeletal
remains into one succinct analysis, this book demonstrates how the
application of modern skeletal biology research techniques can
effectively be employed to address questions of human population
origins and microevolution. Craniometrics and DNA analysis are used
to provide indications as to Rapanui ancestral lineage. Evidence is
presented in a user-friendly manner to allow researchers and
graduates to critically analyse the current knowledge of
prehistoric Rapanui skeletal variation. An important resource
providing valuable evidence from human biology that modifies
earlier archaeological and cultural anthropological views, this
book will stimulate further research into the Rapanui.
