Researchers analyzed the genomes of 317 Indigenous Oceanian people to reconstruct a history of migration through the vast island region.

By Michael PriceApr. 14, 2021 , 11:20 AM

It was one of the boldest journeys in human history: People ventured into the open Pacific Ocean in double-hulled canoes, crossing thousands of kilometers to find and settle far-flung lands. Now, a study of the genomes of hundreds of modern Indigenous residents of Oceania provides new insights into the routes those ancient voyagers tookand who they encountered along the way. The findings suggest more mingling among ancient people in the region than many scientists had thought, including four mixing events with the extinct Denisovan lineage. Despite those intriguing results, critics say the authors failed to meaningfully involve members of the Indigenous communities who provided DNA for the study.

Its a really exciting paper, says Lisa Matisoo-Smith, an anthropologist at the University of Otago, Dunedin. But she says she is troubled by an apparent lack of engagement with the papers Indigenous participants; the study has no Indigenous authors. It appears [the researchers] have ticked the official boxes, for getting informed consent, she says. But people are beginning to realize that is not true engagement.

Based on archaeological and linguistic data, anthropologists long ago developed a basic model of how humans came to call Oceania and the Pacific Islands home: Hunter-gatherers crossed into Near Oceaniaa region including New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and the Solomon Islandssome 45,000 years ago. About 5000 years ago, farmers from what is now Taiwan headed south into the Philippines. According to this out of Taiwan model, they moved past Near Oceania and into Remote Oceaniawhich includes Micronesia, Vanuatu, and Fijibypassing the people already living in the region. A 2016 study of ancient genomes found that these migrants didnt mix with the populations already living on the islands, suggesting they moved quickly. These voyagers then began to settle the Polynesian islands farther east about 1000 years ago.

Yet such models oversimplify the story of the islanders and voyagers who settled islands across the South Pacific, adds Keolu Fox, a genome scientist at the University of California, San Diego, and a Native Hawaiian, who wasnt involved with the new work. Most scientists who have developed these models have never been on a voyaging canoe, he says. They have no idea how [these journeys have] shaped not just our genomes, but our culture and connectivity.

In the new study, researchers led by population geneticists Lluis Quintana-Murci at the College of France and Pasteur Institute and Etienne Patin of the Pasteur Institute analyzed DNA from 317 modernand primarily Indigenouspeople representing 20 different Pacific populations. They used data from previously published genomes, which had all been sampled between 1998 and 2018. The authors say they explained the nature of the research to all participants and obtained informed consent from each.

The researchers then sequenced the participants whole genomes from the banked samples and compared them to genomes from reference databases, including those of modern people in Near Oceania and extinct archaic humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans. By looking at which individuals shared certain point mutations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms, the researchers pieced together a rough family tree for the Indigenous populations of the Pacific. The team also estimated approximately how long it would take for the groups genomes to diverge in the way they did, suggesting when different peoples would have met or parted ways. In line with previous research, the authors conclude that humans settled Near Oceania about 30,000 to 45,000 years ago, they report today in Nature.

The researchers model then suggests that about 7000 years ago, people from Taiwan embarked on a major expansion through the region. They traveled south, pausing for a couple thousand years, perhaps in the Philippines or Indonesia. Eventually, they continued on to New Guinea and Near Oceania. But counter to the strict out of Taiwan model, the researchers found it was a relatively slow journey, with settlers arriving in the Bismarck and Solomon islands about 3000 years ago, and intermingling with Near Oceanian islanders along the way.

This out-of-Taiwan rejection is a pretty strong finding, says Cosimo Posth, an archaeogeneticistat the University of Tbingen. It tells a more complex story of interaction on the islands.

Quintana-Murci and colleagues also detected four separate introductions of distinct stretches of Denisovan DNA into Oceanic populations. The most recent introduction, among the Philippines Agta people, happened about 20,000 to 25,000 years ago. Those results suggest two interesting things about this mysterious human ancestor, Quintana-Murci says: First, Denisovans may have lived until relatively recently, he says, and second, we cannot talk about Denisovans as a homogenous group. Instead, the best we can do is term them Denisova related.

In addition, the researchers identified 14 Denisovan-derived genes linked to the functioning of the immune system in modern Pacific populations. These genes may have helped the islanders resist local pathogens, Quintana-Murci says.

As for concerns about lack of Indigenous participation, Quintana-Murci points out that the author list does contain local Taiwanese and Filipino researchers who work closely with Indigenous communities. But norms around sovereignty over genetic data are changing fast. Last week, Princeton University anthropologist Agustn Fuentes and others urged to scientists to push journals and funding agencies to require meaningful community involvement, rather than simple clearance by an ethical review board, at a virtual session of the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists.

For Fox, the papers lack of an Indigenous perspective is evident. He says the authors missed an opportunity to learn what kinds of research questions Indigenous communities themselves are interested in. He notes, for example, that the study ignores the introduction of diseases by European colonists, which shaped modern peoples genomes; learning more about modern susceptibility to disease could benefit Indigenous communities today. Why are you talking about Denisovans when you should have been talking about the effects of colonialism on the genome of modern Oceanic populations? he asks. Those are the kinds of questions that are empowering for Oceanic communities.

Study reveals 'exciting' history of humans in Pacific. But critics blast lack of Indigenous input - Science Magazine

On Oceania Cruises luxurious ships Marina and Riviera, a very special dining experience is available

La Reserve is the pinnacle in fine dining at sea.

Described by Oceania Cruises as a 'glorious celebration of the pleasures of the palate', this charming space has catapulted cruise cuisine into a new dimension.

Developed in partnership with Wine Spectator, La Reserve available on ships Marinaand Riviera is more than just another cruise culinary innovation wine seminars and vintage tastings are also on the menu, making your experience an altogether more meaningful one.

From the fine china on the table to the intimate setting, every detail has been meticulously crafted to take your dinner from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

This dining experience is far more than an upscale meal it is unlike anything you will have previously tasted and one you will not want to miss.

First up, in La Reserve you can sit down and sample the exquisite La Cuisine Bourgeoise menu.

Created by the cruise's lines master chef and executive culinary director Jacques Ppin and aptly described as 'happiness on a plate', this decadent seven-course adventure transports you into a world of gastronomy heaven, one that is all about fresh, seasonal ingredients, and plenty of flair.

Each moment has been studied, analysed and refined, with every element of the menu exquisitely paired with a wine for a dinner you simply wont find on any other ship or on land, for that matter.

Speaking about the concept, Ppin said: 'Cuisine bourgeoise originated in the middle of the 19th century in France. Its a cuisine rooted in simplicity, fresh ingredients, and comfort above all else, it is a cuisine to share.

'It is a cuisine epitomised by the Mres Lyonnaises the celebrated female chefs of Lyon during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and one that shaped my childhood and family traditions.

'It is a cuisine that honours the ritual of the table in the tradition of mothers and grandmothers. It is a cuisine to savour rather than admire or evaluate. Cuisine bourgeoise is simply happiness on a plate.'

Oceania Cruises' president and CEO, Bob Binder, added: 'Pairing the wines took particular care and required extensive research to ensure that the wines featured with each course reflected the bright, approachable, and celebratory nature of this dining experience.

'This is an experience you cant have anywhere else and one that will create memories for a lifetime. It is the epitome of special.'

Nothing shouts luxury more than Champagne. And Oceania Cruises is well aware of this. In another stroke of brilliance, the line has joined forces with Mot & Chandon to create the luxurious Dom Prignon Experience at La Reserve.

This six-course feast pairs every course with a Dom Prignon vintage. This is not some hastily arranged afterthought, however.

Each dish has been designed by Oceania Cruises' expert team again led by Ppin to elicit the nuances of the grapes, creating not just a memory, but a true moment of pleasure.

The mind-blowing banquet includes everything from Brittany blue lobster in yellow curry broth with coco foam, to sashimi-style seared Wagyu beef with sauted arugula, to blood orange-soya jus. Now that should make your mouth water.

If the Dom Prignon Experience isnt quite for you (and it really should be), La Reserve also has the Odyssey menu, which is just as innovative in its use of ingredients to create one-of-a-kind courses.

Theres the Bay Scallop Teriyaki seared on riverstone, Maine lobster cassolette with tarragon and sea urchin bisque, or portobello mushroom risotto with smoked ricotta and black truffle.

Again, these courses are paired with wines to enhance the flavour and let each component of the dish sing to its fullest.

Reservations are required for La Reserve, and a wine or Champagne experience surcharge applies. However, it is worth every penny, as the memories you make in this intimate restaurant are genuinely priceless.

La Reserve on Oceania Cruises: The Perfect Pairing - World of Cruising

Few spiders elicit as much reaction from humans as the famous and feared tarantula. These giant, hairy arachnids are known for their remarkable size, brilliant colors, and distinctive physical attributes.

But it's not just the tarantula itself that is so impressively (albeit unsettlingly) large. So is the creature's footprint on the globe which is surprising since tarantulas are relatively sedentary spiders;females and juveniles in particular rarely wander away from their burrows, if they do at all.

Nonetheless, tarantulas (the Theraphosidae family of spiders) are to be found virtually everywhere, living on all Earth's continents except for Antarctica.

"They are quite widespread and are found throughout the subtropical regions of every continent," a research team led by bioinformatician Saoirse Foley from Carnegie Mellon University explains in a new study.

"[Their] behaviors do not portend that tarantulas would be successful dispersers, yet they have spread across the globe and have colonized strikingly different ecological niches."

What can explain the successful migration of tarantula spiders to so many different corners of the globe?

In their new study, Foley and fellow researchers investigated the biogeographic patterns of tarantulas throughout history, analyzing messenger RNA in tarantula transcriptome databases, and modeling how the tarantula family tree could have developed over a hypothesized 120 million years of evolution.

That ancestry looks to be the key to the tarantula's wide dispersion, with early tarantula ancestors journeying around the world via continental drift, as the world's most fundamental landmasses roamed and collided over millions of years after the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana.

"Previous studies estimate that tarantulas emerged between 150 Ma-71 Ma or ~107 Ma, which is compatible with a Gondwanan origin," the researchers explain.

"Indeed, some tarantulas (Selenocosmiinae) are suggested to be North Gondwanan taxa."

In their own analysis, the team found evidence for two separate 'out of India' dispersals of ancient tarantulas into Asia, when the Indian subcontinent collided with Asia roughly 55 to 35 million years ago.

"Interestingly, despite our analyses suggesting a Gondwanan origin for Theraphosidae, this pattern suggests that tarantulas were not always present in Oceania, and instead is consistent with Selenocosmiinae having diversified across Asia, eventually crossing the Wallace line sometime after the India/Asia collision (possibly as early as 47 Ma, Fig. S3), while the terrestrial Thrigmopoeinae remained in India," the researchers write.

"Our results indicate that both of these Asian lineages diverged while the Indian Plate was still rafting towards Asia Interestingly, the two lineages also appear to be ecologically divergent."

The results ultimately suggest that while continental drift played a pivotal role in helping these ancient spiders colonize new continents, their own evolutionary adaptations were also important to geographic spread, with species seizing the opportunity to capitalize on ecological and environmental circumstances.

"Perhaps these radiations can be attributed to an ancient switch in lifestyle that each ecologically distinct subfamily to become successful by exploiting different ecological niches," the authors explain.

"Ancient tarantulas appear to have undergone several diversifications on India while it was still rafting, affirming the evolutionary significance of the subcontinent."

The findings are reported in PeerJ.

Oceania

Oceania is a vast, arbitrarily defined expanse of the world where the Pacific Ocean rather than land borders connects the nations. It is home to glistening white beaches, coconut palms swaying in the breeze, beautiful coral reefs, and rugged volcanic islands rising out of the blue ocean. Its diverse nations have both some of the world's most cosmopolitan and internationalised cities such as Melbourne, and some of its most remote and culturally isolated villages.

Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are by far the largest countries on these lands that comprise southern Oceania, with the first two the most visited. Within Oceania are the vast island nation groupings of Polynesia to the far east, Melanesia to the west and Micronesia to the north.

Australia and New Zealand are both former British colonies. At one time it was envisaged that the two colonies would become a single country. In the past, Papua New Guinea was a United Nations trusteeship, administered by Australia. Various islands have been annexed by Britain, Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Australia and the United States.

The presence of all of these cultures has created an influence on aspects of culture norms and development. In many areas at least one, often more indigenous languages, and the languages of one or more of the colonial powers, are spoken by the majority as people have coexisted or joined with the influx of other cultures. This mix has influenced cuisine, architecture and other facets of culture.

Ecologically, Oceania also includes the eastern parts of Indonesia as far as Lombok and Sulawesi.

See the country articles for detailed information on how to Get in.

The major countries of Australia and New Zealand do of course offer connections from all continents, although there are few direct flights from South America. There are some other gateways offering other opportunities to get in to Oceania, and for interesting itineraries. Air France connects New Caledonia direct with Tokyo and Paris and also flies to Tahiti. Onward connections to Sydney and Auckland are possible. Fiji Airways connects Fiji with Los Angeles with connections through to Sydney, Auckland and Tahiti. Tahiti is connected to Los Angeles, and you can fly to the Cook Islands direct from there. Air New Zealand provides a service to Tonga and Samoa from Los Angeles and Auckland. The Los Angeles service is subsidized by the New Zealand government as a form of aid to the two countries. Manila, Guam and Honolulu offer a gateway to the many countries of Micronesia, mainly on Continental Airlines.

The smallest islands with less tourism present travel challenges. Many are entirely deserted, and some have restrictions on access. Others require specialized services you may hire.

A South Pacific cruise.

Without a yacht, or a lot of time, the only way for travellers to get around between the main destinations of Oceania is by plane. Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, and Los Angeles have good connectivity to the region. It is usually possible to fly from the west coast of the United States through to Sydney or Auckland via Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji or even the Cook Islands.

However, air routes tend to come and go depending on whether the airlines find them profitable or not. Much of Micronesia, having been under US Administration, is serviced by Continental Airlines. Much of English-speaking Polynesia receives regular flights from Air New Zealand. Melanesia is mainly serviced by national and Australian airlines. Don't expect daily flights. Patience is required.

Flying between Micronesia and the other two areas is problematic and may involve flying all the way to Honolulu or a complicated route through Manila, Sydney and Auckland. Continental Airlines has a weekly flight from Guam to Nadi in Fiji. United Airlines offers flights also.Aircalin has flights from Japan direct to New Caledonia

Some flight options within Oceania, amongst others, are:

There are some options for boats, cruise ships, private yachts, adventure cruises, and even cargo ships.

Consult the guide for the destination you are visiting.

All island groups are fascinating and with time and money you can spend months just travelling around. There are some stunningly beautiful islands (Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia), some fascinating cultures and festivals, some wonderful diving and totally deserted beaches. Check the individual country sections for details.

Skiing and snow sports. New Zealand has reliable winter snowfalls, mostly on the South Island in winter. The Snowy Mountains in New South Wales have the largest ski resorts in the southern hemisphere.

Although staple foods from outside the region, such as rice and flour, now have a firm foothold, the traditional staples of roots and tubers remain very important. The cheapest is usually cassava, which can be left in the ground for a long time. Sweet potato is a very important crop and is found in most parts of Oceania with the major producing area being the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Taro and yam are also widespread. The latter is the most valuable of the roots and tubers and there are many customs associated with its cultivation. In the Sepik area of Papua New Guinea, for example, relations between married couples are traditionally forbidden while the yams are growing. On the other hand, in the Trobriand Islands the yam harvest traditionally is a period of active relations within couples, and of sexual freedom in general.

Kava is a drink produced from the roots of a plant related to the pepper plant and found mainly in Polynesia as well as Fiji and Vanuatu. It has a mildly narcotic effect. Other names include 'awa (Hawai'i), 'ava (Samoa), yaqona (Fiji), and sakau (Pohnpei). Traditionally it is prepared by chewing, grinding or pounding the roots of the kava plant. In Tonga, chewing traditionally had to be done by female virgins. Pounding is done in a large stone with a small log. The product is then added to cold water and consumed as quickly as possible, invariably as part of a group of people sitting around and sharing the cup. Check before taking any out of the country, however, as importing or exporting kava can be illegal for travelers.

Usual travel precautions re: any socializing or involvement with local people apply, always, and take special care in remote areas and on remote islands. Prepare thoroughly for trips into remote areas. Do your research, be prepared, understand that wilderness areas are true wilderness.

Fiji, New Caledonia, the Cook Islands, Samoa and all other islands except those listed next are usually malaria free.

Vanuatu has no reported cases of malaria currently although it has existed. Islanders are recuperating from flood losses (2014), and attendant human and infrastructure damage in the Solomon Islands, with some people who have contracted malaria. The malaria risk has lessened in Papua New Guinea this decade. All mentioned have a regimen of larval control practices.

Oceania - Wikitravel

Six teams were fighting for the title of Mixed Teams Champion today in Bishkek. Korea, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan were each represented by 6 judoka, 3 men and 3 women, each putting their heart into their performance, not just to win individual matches, but to contribute to the overall team performance.

In the first match of the day Uzbekistan met Turkmenistan. The final score was 4:0, with the Uzbek team overcoming Turkmenistan with only ippon scores on the score sheet. The most spectacular fight of this round was at +90kg, where Shokhrukh Bakhtiyorov (UZB) beat Yashyuzak Ashirov (TKM) in just 9 seconds.

In the next contest Kazakhstans team met with the home nations favourites and despite the local judo fans cheering for a different result, the final scoreline read 4:1, in favour of Kazakhstan, who proceeded to the semi-finals, to confront team China.

The semi-finals were tough and all four teams were strong, but with only two places in the final round, there had to be a clear result.

Between Korea and Uzbekistan, a series of high level, explosive contests ensued, but in the end it was Korea who made their way to the final, beating the Uzbek team 4:1. The second finalist was Kazakhstan, who beat the Chinese team by only 1 point.

Bronze medal contest between teams of Turkmenistan and China

Bronze medals went to China and Uzbekistan, following wins against Turkmenistan Kyrgyzstan respectively.

The final team match of the day was intense, with the infamous gripping and unorthodox throwing techniques of the Korean team, pitted against the dynamism and often surprising strategy of the Kazakh judoka. On paper, after the individual competition, the Korean team looked to be the stronger of the two, but form doesnt always dictate results and an exciting final went ahead.

Final round KOR vs KAZ

After the first 4 contests the scores were even at 2:2, but then the Korean team took the next two wins to ensure they were the mixed team champions.

The second day of the Asia and Oceania Championships brought us some big surprises! Kyrgyz judoka Vladimir ZOLOEV overcame Saeid MOLLAEI in the semi-finals of -81kg category and then won against the Korean athlete LEE Moon Jin in the final match, winning a first ever gold medal at the Asian Championships for the country and what a way to do it, on home ground!

There were three gold medals for Korea, one for Kyrgyzstan and one for Uzbekistan to add to the medal table that we saw emerge yesterday.

A silver and a bronze were secured by the Australian womens team, with Tel Aviv Grand Prix 2020 winner Katharina HAECKER only losing after an intense final against Korean HAN Hee Ju, in the -63kg group. It was -70kg powerhouse Aoife GOUGHLAN who took their bronze, beating HANs compatriot, to avenge her own teammate, for the bronze medal.

After winning her first grand slam medal only weeks ago, Gulnnoza MATNIYAZOVA of Uzbekistan stepped up on to the top of the podium at -70kg, taking the second gold medal for Uzbekistan in this event.

There was triumph for the Korean team too, with two gold medals being won, by An Changrim in the -73kg category, coming in as the number 1 seed and being unstoppable all day and from HAN Hee Ju at -63 kg.
