  1. Ancient Pacific drought drove Polynesian migration across the ocean, study finds

    A long period of severe drought likely helped drive one of the greatest ocean migrations in human history, according to a new study. The findings suggest climate stress pushed ancient Polynesian communities to leave Samoa and Tonga and sail east across the Pacific, where wetter islands offered better living conditions....

  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌊🗺️ A severe #drought in the southwest #Pacific between 850 and 1200 CE may explain why #Polynesian voyagers began settling eastern islands after 1,700 years of pause.

    Researchers analyzed #hydrogen isotopes in ancient mud to reconstruct rainfall patterns. Drought, population pressure, and improved #canoe #technology likely converged to drive this wave of #exploration.
