A new study of DNA from some of Rapa Nui's historic residents tells a different story.
The population of the island never experienced such a dramatic decline, scientists say.
The findings are the latest blow to the narrative that the island's population collapsed after Europeans first came to the island in 1722 .
The study could have a major impact on understanding how pre-colonization populations mixed and interacted.
