Question

The two groups that explored and settled Oceania were _____.

Answer 1

SOS:

The answer is Polynesians and Lapita!

• Oceania was home to two waves of human migration:

The Lapita may have come from Taiwan and migrated first to New Guinea, and then to other nearby islands. Several hundred years later, the Polynesians arrived, probably from the Malay Peninsula. They supplanted the Lapita civilization and continued exploring the Pacific region, including New Zealand.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Lapita and Polynesians. The Aborigines are natives of Australia and the Maori are natives of New Zealand.
