<p>Tristan Hughes goes on an exploration of Hawaii's earliest settlers, guided by the insights of Dr. Patrick Kirch, a leading expert on Hawaiian archeology. From the arrival of Polynesians around AD 1000, using sophisticated double-hull canoes, to their unique agricultural practices and the construction of monumental architecture, they delve into the impact of Polynesian settlers on Hawaii's pristine ecosystem, the use of petroglyphs, and the development of highly stratified societal structures shedding light on Hawaii's ancient past.</p><br><p>MORE</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Lmi6v0tLbk6oMWnd74MHa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Polynesian Mythology</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3g3FvUJkYbPhs1RFImydth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The First South Americans</strong></a></p><br><p>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
