Okay, so the people of Southeast Asia who were spontaneously created when a couple of non-organic molecules smashed together and created life like it did in Africa 1000s of miles away, built boats and sailed to Tahiti without women aboard and populated the island with the women they found there.I don't buy it. African cavemen hopped in a canoe and headed out 1000s of miles in the ocean with no maps to get them to islands they never knew about?out rigger canoesIt's absurd to think we all come from Africa. How did people get to the various Pacific Islands like Tahiti from Africa?
Outrigger canoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outrigger canoes were originally developed by the Austronesian-speaking peoples of the islands of Southeast Asia for sea travel. They were used to transport these peoples both eastward toPolynesia and New Zealand and westward across the Indian Ocean as far as Madagascar during the Austronesian migration period. While today they can be found in East Africa (e.g. the ungalawa ofTanzania), the Austronesian peoples (Filipino, Malay, Micronesian, Melanesian and Polynesian peoples) continue to be the primary users of the outrigger canoes also it became very popular in Puerto Rico.
Outrigger fishing canoes are also used among certain non-Austronesian groups, such as the Sinhala in Sri Lanka, where they are known as oruwa,[1] as well as among some groups in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.[2] The ethnological significance of this spread has been studied by James Hornell.
When Magellan's ships first encountered the Chamorros of the Mariana Islands in 1521, Antonio Pigafetta recorded that the Chamorros' sailboats far surpassed Magellan's in speed and maneuverability.
Last straw. You're now on my "too stupid to converse with" list. Which automatically puts you on my "fodder for ridicule" list.
