Genetic analysis shows a stably growing population from the 13th century through to the European contact in the 18th century .

Ten percent of the Rapanui gene pool has an Indigenous American origin.

Study also found that Rapa Nui was unlikely to be last stop in Pacific voyaging.

“Not only is there no evidence of a population collapse before the Europeans arrived on the island, but the data also shows that they were capable of even more formidable voyages across the Pacific than had been previously established, ultimately reaching the Americas ,” said Moreno-Mayar . “So we can put those ideas to rest now.” SHARE This Truly Landmark Paper In The Study Of This Fascinating Island.
