In Reply to: Where did Tongans come from ??? Re: ORIGIN of the POLYNESIAN PEOPLE. Science! posted by Ene on August 31, 2007 at 17:50:34:
Tongans came from Melanesia (Fiji, Vanuatu etc.) & Samoa right before they came to Tonga.
Samoans (on the other hand) came from East Asia (China/Taiwan) & South East Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia etc.) & probably mixed with the Melanesians while they were at it.
By the way Micronesians came from Melanesia & Polynesia so Micronesians are sort of a mixture of both.
But in the end it's important to remember that the first Polynesians were the people of SAMOA. And where did these Samoans come from? ASIA!
