What it is actually saying is that too much evidence has accumulated that contradicts mainstream views on Polynesian origins from the west in the last 3,500 years. See my website Polynesian Pathways with special reference to the 'Genetics rewrites Pacific prehistory' page. The page on Lapita is also worth a look. It seems that scientists have contradicted themselves one too many times on this one. www.polynesian-prehistory.com I must say that “The edge of unknowable” stance taken by scientists on Pacific prehistory is a total cop out.
