A comment on Polynesian DNA suggests epic voyage to South America 800 years ago. Parent comment
1. Boredom. Yeah, plenty of food, whatever; what should I do all day, shake coconut trees? BORING!
2. Prestige. Growing a family is not cool. Do you know what’s cool? Finding a new island and coming back a chief.
3. Conflict. Damn, the chief is a pain in the ass, males me shake coconut trees all day. I’m going to get my own island, with hookers and blackjack.
4. Curiosity. I want to see what’s beyond. Maybe I’ll meet the gods, that would be great!
5. Swagger. I am the best sailor in the tribe, the sea is my bitch, and I’ll show you.
6. Duty and tradition. Our culture is defined by expansion, it is my duty to do what our ancestors did.
7. Redemption. I screwed up, my life in this tribe is over, I have nothing to lose trying to start again beyond the sea.
