The Polynesian contact theory is a legit thing, but it's pretty much at the level of "entirely plausible hypothetical for which we currently have no hard evidence." They had the capacity and a history of exploratory voyages westward whenever population pressures on whatever islands they occupied got too much, and were entirely capable of reaching the western coast of South American from Hawaii, but to date I don't know of anyone finding any solid evidence they actually did it. There's some soft cultural similarities here and there that you can see if you want to between them and some subsets of indigenous South Americans, but nothing that couldn't also just be coincidental simultaneous developments by both parties.

Do you have any links to genetic studies on this? Last time I went looking I couldn't find anything that wasn't either speculative or just unreliable.

Telsa Cola posted:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2487-2 Sadly no, I'm a historian so I can't speak to the substance; when I teach world history I usually reference the Polynesian contact hypothesis as one of the actual/probably pre-Colobian contacts of the outside world with the Americas, and to-date I've always framed it as I posted above. Presuming this study stands, I'll need to amend that bit of the class.

Like you can tell he really likes projecting the image of the Cool Mysterious Centrist who just Tells It Like It Is but then tweets "Hmm. Interesting!" over a picture of The Turner Diaries. Like he's really blowing the cryptofascist exam and will have to retake the class next semester. He's desperately trying to play the "just asking questions" mask for bad-faith contrarians, not knowing/understanding that was well stale at least twenty years ago. It's like his brain is permanently locked into late 90's mode, and can't comprehend that the internet has (in places, sorta) grown and moved on.
