  Humans are definitely bilaterally symmetrical. Symmetry doesn’t have to be a perfect mirror image in biology.

  That makes a lot of sense! Agreed that that’s more likely. Though those settlements would’ve been pretty transient and/or small since we have nothing in the archaeological record. And no pigs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old Easter Island genomes show no sign of a population collapse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems likely that the Polynesian word(s) for sweet potato is a direct borrowing from Quecha. Beyond that I don’t think there’s accepted evidence for vocabulary exchange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old Easter Island genomes show no sign of a population collapse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a similar distance from there to the nearest Polynesian island, and we know they maintained contact and trade that direction. South America would’ve offered entirely unique trade goods, so I don’t think it’s out of the question at all. These were history’s greatest sailors and navigators, after all.

  Certainly 10% DNA admixture requires more than just a few small interactions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old Easter Island genomes show no sign of a population collapse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This aligns with the idea that Rapa Nui was the stepping stone via which Polynesians and Native Americans made contact, traded crops, and had kids together. I wonder if there was ever a minority NA population on the island alongside Polynesians or if it was just occasional mixed kids raised fully Polynesian.

  You can’t block an instance yet, just communities. They’re working on that feature.
