Basically the two scariest Polynesian peoples, the Hawaiians and the Maori, would fight for dominance. King Kamehameha is basically Hawaiian Napoleon and would try to expand his empire, and the Maori would eat everyone.

Seriously though, the one Maori tribe traded for guns with the British Empire and proceeded to genocide 80% of population of Aotearoa so they could eat them and take their mana. The rest of the Maori population basically swore fealty to the British to get them to come in and end the conflict. The British couldn't even conquer them before the genocides because the Maori were just too vicious. The Hawaiians weren't much better in terms of cannibalism, but the Maori were a whole other beast.

>>50947045
That's pretty damn badass!

>>50947071
Yep. The modern day Maori assimilated very well into Western society. Polynesians are Caucasoid in heredity and physiology, so they share many similar tendencies in terms of warfare, and they top it off by just being crazy aggressive. The MAO-A and low activity MAO-A genes are ubiquitous in their populations, and those that preserved Mau Rakau, their martial art, can do things like split a bull's head down the middle with a stone club or smash right through a man's back with just brute strength and technique.

Lua, Hawaii's martial art, is nothing to scoff at either. Both fighting styles are super scary and turn crap that's just lying on the ground into terrifying weapons on top of bone-breaking grapples you expect to see monks pull off.

Hawaii's "doctors" were all martial artists and knew so much primitive medicine that they just hit you where it would kill/maim you the fastest. They had dojo-like organizations where they taught their disciples how to put a body back together and how to take it apart.

Mau Rakau was the art of intimidation and battlefield dominance. They had some modern practitioners of Mau Rakau go up against Shaolin Monks in Fight Science and the Maori utterly dominated the monks in terms of performance on almost every front, so much so that the monks felt like they had to show off just to not get beaten in the statistics. There's an episode of Fight Science that goes into detail the ways the two styles murder things. However, I would like you to be aware that there's some clear bias in favor of the monks by the researchers because they overly valued steel weapons despite the fact that the Maori's weapons murdered things faster /personalopinion.

The Polynesian people's main crops such as the banana and coconut couldn't grow on Aotearoa, so they turned to porking their way through the entire ecosystem and killing each other in ways that would make the Mesoamericans queasy and give Eli Roth the biggest hard on.

Caucasoid as a class in physical anthropology does not mean from Europe. Europoid is the subgroup of Caucasoid that refers to those from the European continent (plus Slavs). The umbrella of Caucasoid stretches well into the Indian subcontinent. There are many, many models for possible spread of the Polynesian peoples. There's an out-of-Taiwan model, a Southeast Asian emergence model, a South Asian (read: Indian subcontinent) model, and an early Indo-European model. The only ones I've seen with any modicum of evidence are the South Asian and Indo-European models which anthropologically are Caucasoid, but take that with a grain of salt because I studied physical anthropology of Polynesia about fifteen years ago. They've probably got some admixture of many different peoples in them, but not everything you hear that uses verbiage such as "Caucasoid" or "Mongoloid" is /pol/ for the same reason that referring to various haplogroups and haplotypes is /pol/. They're basically different words for identical concepts.

I don't know shit about Hawaiian history, but present-day Hawaiians are about as scary as particularly fat rabbit.

>>50950827
Not >>50950745 , but here's a possible explanation. Back in the 20s, there was a huge push to expand the Caucasoid umbrella to fit with closely related groups such as mediterranean peoples and Indo-European groups such as the Persians, various Indo-Paki peoples, and Polynesians. Largely this was to ease power transitions in the Pacific as the U.S. gained a bunch of territory, particularly from the Spanish-American War. The trend continued. It's actually very reminiscent of the big push today trying to tether as many races as possible closer to Africa than is reasonable both in terms of timeline and heredity. Both are probably balderdash, but it's easier to criticize newer hypotheses than foundational things that formed the basis of your education. Modern-day anthropology is filled with needlessly obfuscated jargon with the express intent of discussing ideas of race without being politically incorrect, but physical anthropologists still throw fits over where the division between the various modern day H. sapiens subgroups occurred. Some argue that we differentiated back in the days of H. heidelbergensis, and there's some sketchy evidence towards that and so much red tape that it'll never get properly examined in today's political climate. There's also a lot of interesting information coming out of the Human Genome Project that gets politically corrected in PR presentations because they don't want to get crucified.

Polynesians genetically are from the same stalk as Indo-Europeans at the very least to the best of my knowledge, but there's a lot of cock posturing over how much if at all they mixed with various east Asian groups. I personally am highly skeptical of attempts to connect them to the New Guinea and Australian Aborigine groups because of their lack of shared genetic markers and blatant morphological differences. There was probably interbreeding in prehistory and antiquity between the same group that interbred with the Dinosovians.

>>50950745
Well no, he's right. Just look at where the Caucasus region is. A lot of asians are Caucasoids. That's not saying Asians are white, we associate "caucasoid" with white people when it's really a greater thing that white people happen to fall under. There's nothing /pol/ about this it's just technical terminology

>>50950867
>Posts the only hawaiian famous on the mainland

You don't actually know anything about Hawaii do you

>>50950867
A common theme in Polynesian culture was "mana" which is a great RPG plot thread. Mana could be gained from great feats, e.g. a weapon that had been used triumphantly in battle would have its history and decorations carved into it to seal the mana of its experience in it. Mana was harvested from the environment and channeled it into usable (read: tool) form. Hawaiians used shark teeth in their clubs not just for the practical application but because it was believed to steal and store the shark's mana. Tattoos had similar significance. However, mana was also gathered by the warriors through battle, and that mana could be stolen by killing and eating other people and stealing their highly decorated and prized weaponry. The Hawaiian King I mentioned earlier cannibalized many rival chieftains to gain their mana during his conquest of the Hawaiian archipelago. The Maori were a little more heavy on the cannibalism and would eat most any warrior. Being eaten and turned into feces was the worst fate imaginable because all your mana would leave your tribe to some other schmuck's. I cannot speak for other Polynesian cultures, but when the Maori stuck their tongues out at someone, they were threatening to eat them.

Basically, mana was experience points and equipment buffs that could be stolen from your enemies by eating them and stealing their shit.

>>50950978
Trying to ring up prior knowledge and produce an easily Googleable name is a choice of presentation. However, I am not claiming to be an expert on Polynesia, and my personal expertise lies elsewhere. Would you care to share more Hawaiian figures from history?

My mistake. I thought you were responding to me... Oops.

>>50947045
>the Hawaiians weren't much better in terms of cannibalism
This is incorrect. We didn't actually eat anyone, but Europeans who came and recorded us thought we did because baking the meat off the bones of important people is something we do. Bones hold the most mana, so it's a normal funeral practice for us. However, no actual consumption occurred.

Also I should say that Hawai'ians were far more capable in large-scale combat than our Maori cousins. Even though champion-fighting solved most of our issues, our largest battle involved literally tens of thousands of people and full pike-and-shot formations. The Maori never got past battles of a few hundred and champion fights.

>>50951084
Polynesians confirmed for OG munchkins.

>>50952229
I've heard about bones holding the most mana but not that the meat was discarded rather than consumed.

And yeah, Hawaiian wars got much bigger than Maori ones. I'd speculate that it was because there was a lot more to fight over and there were more Hawaiians. Actually, how big was pre-European contact Hawaiian population? I know the Maori population was in the six figures, but I always figured the Hawaiian pop was seven or maybe eight figures.

>>50946761
Weirdly

>>50952702
Yeah, Hawai'ians preferred taking the bones because they're rich in mana, but we didn't eat our fallen or our foes; in fact there are instances of Ali'i getting rather offended when the Europeans would imply that we did. In contrast, Maori would sometime carry prisoners of war with them on the warpath to make sure they still had food if supplies ran low for some reason. Our islands were a lot richer than theirs, so cannibalism never became a thing for us; taking the mana-rich bones was more than enough. Though I can understand how ancient Hawai'ians having literal ovens made for baking the bodies of important people being somewhat odd for Europeans who didn't know any better.

To my knowledge, the general peak of the Hawai'ian populace depends on who you ask. There are theories that suggest only up to about 200-250k, but there is also evidence to suggest the potential for up to a million people as of 1778. To make things more complicated, Cook and his crew estimated the populace to be at about 400k at the time of their contact.

It's a bit spotty, to be sure. But the even the smallest and most niggardly estimates place the ancient Hawai'ian populace at a healthy enough six figures.

>>50952814
That's significantly higher than I would have guessed if someone asked me. Guess Hawaii is a lot bigger than I thought. I've never even been in the same hemisphere as the islands, just kind of assumed that they're tiny and couldn't have supported more than a couple thousand people at most.

>>50952702
Seven is being generous and there's no way it was eight. There was definitely a six figure population above 100 thousand though.

Very unfortunate that the majority of them died due to disease.

>>50952863
Many historians (myself included; I'm not professional, but I'm credited) and archaeologists view pre-contact Polynesia--or at least, most of it--as one of the closest places that the real world had to paradise.

Starvation was never really an issue, pre-contact Polynesian cultures had very little plague to contend with, many of their wars didn't amount to a great amount of death because of things like champion fights and strategic wars of conquest instead of attrition, and there was a wealth of knowledge, medicine, trade, and travel.

It was a pretty nice place to be, if you followed some of the more strict cultural rules in place.

>>50952895
I dunno. I've been to Guam, and it's an armpit. How is the rest of Polynesia compared to Guam?

>>50953201
I'm specifically referring to pre-contact, back before Western influence trashed a lot of it.

And I'm not just being bitter there, it's honestly true. Go to Hawai'i. It's not nearly as rich or well-maintained as it used to be, and we're literally fighting government entities to keep them from putting (useful, but still invasive) buildings on our territory.

>>50946761
Magical space canoes launched from magical floating Islands that act as spaceships.

>>50953228
Mainland natives have the same problem, from what I understand. A lot of the old treaties are being slowly dissolved and any hint of sovereignty is being done away with under the guise of further assimilation.

I understand that only native Hawaiians can own property and others can only lease. Is there any way to leverage that power to slow down development or establish covenants on the real estate that preserve it? Covenants placed on real estate dramatically lower value, but they're generally immutable and eternal.

>>50953279
Not really. We've had an awful lot of reliance on the "immutable and eternal," (good phrasing, honestly) estates where literally nothing can be put on them, but almost all of those estates are present on the Big Island.

There are actual territories (my grandfather worked on one) where hotels are built AROUND these territories, but they're not TOUCHING them, so they're good to go from a legal perspective. It makes a lot of natives rather bitter about the situation, and makes it feel like there's not a lot we can do.

>>50953309
You could perhaps put a moratorium on building in some places. If you look into real estate economics, you could see how some areas, particularly in rural or highly agricultural areas, use certain policies to create no to slow growth and put a clamp on development without tanking their economy. If there are other businesses that you could protect while dissuading new development, you could have the two-pronged approach of pro-local politics and conservation. Out in middle America, it's one of the things you do to avoid being lumped in with the tree-huggers and get peoples' economic interest aligned with your more ideological goals.

>>50953385
Part of the problem here is that Hawai'i in particular has one of the (if not just the) worst ever education systems in America. A lot of people who crusade for property rights face the issue of the fact that not a lot of us are highly-educated; there's also the issue that a lot of these rights are based on "blood purity," when it comes to individual ownership, and there's effectively no such thing as a purebred Hawai'ian anymore. I personally identify more as a Hapa than a full Hawai'ian, and there are a LOT of us in a similar position.

>>50953228
Grew up in Hawaii, The place is dullard central. Locals ruin everything commit crime blame all the problems on government then rob tourists.

Anything that could remotely advance the welfare of the people gets protested and attacked. Like irradiation so local crops can be exported, geothermal powerplants or a ferry service so it doesnt cost +$200 dollars to go between islands.

There is also the a'ama crab problem. Where much like if you put an a'ama crab in a bucket it will climb out and escape, but if you put two or more crabs they just pull each other down back into the bucket.

That basically sums up local culture over there. They pick fights because someone is from Hamakua and is in Kona or whatever bullshit. This one old Hawaiian woman was ranting about it at a kids soccer game one time. Kid got assaulted on the field by another player and cops came and she was going on about how those people need to stay on their side of the island anyway.

But go ahead and lie through your teeth to the haulis about how you got it oh so bad bra.

>>50953460
I'm not arguing that modern Hawai'i is fucked-up. It is. Follow a few of my other posts (in my latest I literally point out how under-educated everyone is). I'm simply pointing out that the pre-contact world wasn't really that bad, especially compared to other "pre-contact," worlds.

Except for a lot of the pre-contact Americas. Those places aren't all that bad (again, like in Hawai'i: if you followed the cultural rules in place).

>>50953414
It's pretty hard to beat California in terms of bad education. Most high schoolers here do addition (poorly) on their fingers and read at a second to fourth grade level, and that's with our grade level standards being two to three grades behind what they used to be. Most also know nothing aside from crude math and literacy. How bad can Hawaii be?

This is mostly Socal. It's terrible down here.

>>50953460
Sounds like what various street gangs do in various cities. My home town had a bypass put in a few years ago and the entire business district got put under imminent domain. It's a regular ghost town with gangs running amok because our bankrupt asses won't pay for a police department and Cali politics make it impossible for police to be anything more than very, very belatedly reactive. I had to move because it was just too dangerous, and they're literally trying to create a privatized police force because the city won't pay for cops period, and county isn't picking up the slack.

>>50953516
Hawai'ian school doesn't teach you how to get by in the world. It teaches you how to get by in Hawai'i. And considering how our culture is in major decline because of shit we've discussed before, effort put into the actual education is fucking nil.

That doesn't even begin to discuss schools that teach in the local language, and will only let people in if they've a proper blood-level.

It's God-awful, and ripe with shit like drugs and corruption.

Polynesians and other Oceanians(Melanesians,Australian aborigines etc.) share their ancestry with the Onge(and the putative ancestral population in India). They have additional East Asian admixture facilitated by Taiwanese aborigines.

>Caucasoid as a class in physical anthropology does not mean from Europe

And I didn't say that it did. Leaving aside whether or not it's outdated, the Polynesian peoples are not Causcoids under any definition of the term. Like I said, DNA mapping has their closest relatives are the peoples of East Asia, most specifically Taiwan, which would put them very firmly in the Mongoloid category. This would be from the paternal Y chromosome analysis done in 2000, followed up on and confirmed in 2008. They also have admixture from other sources, but Taiwan is their most likely point of origin.

I call the term "/pol/", however, because you made the same fundamental fuck-up that every /pol/ster does, which is to take something (often outdated - modern anthropologists don't like using these terms because they're far too broad to serve as useful classifications) and put your own, incorrect and fundamentally racist spin on it. To whit: the "races" of humanity such as causcoid and mongoloid are only used to describe physiological features, not mentality. The Polynesians are a mongoloid people, but that fact has no bearings on their aggression or approach to warfare.

Not really. The Dream Park is a company that developed augmented/virtual reality tech. They run retreats, LARPGs, survival experiences, weight loss adventures, parties, and shit like that in these big domes. They use the augmented reality and some clever level design tricks to keep the people inside from reaching the edges or whatever. The themes of the events can be anything, the big LARPG event during the events of the first book just happens to be Polynesian mythos.

Westworld wasn't augmented reality it was just androids in a wild west theme park...that then go crazy and kill people. So in that it's a theme park I guess it's the same, but it's not a Star Trek, "the holodeck simulations are real and violent!" type trope. The actual plot is more corporate espionage and murder mystery in both the first and third book rather, rather than fighting to survive in a theme park gone wrong it's just don't ruin the theme park while we figure out the mystery.
