- How did the polynesians settle all those islands in the Pacific? [[History Questions]]
- This seems just impossible to do, to me. Or *a lot* of people die in attempts

@niplav It is definitely, at-first, "a lot of peopled died attempting it".

@niplav I dunno, when you live on an island in the middle of fuck all ocean, you're forced to get creative.

@niplav I think the podcast Tides of History has good content on this?
