Note: this topic is from . Thanks blam. Just a little re-ping.
...the ancient Polynesian people who populated Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, were not as isolated as long believed. Scientists who conducted a genetic study, published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology, found these ancient people had significant contact with Native American populations hundreds of years before the first Westerners reached the island in 1722.
So Thor Heyerdahl is at least partially vindicated.
