where people found bones of dinosaurs in fiji Answer: first the name, The word Lapita itself is not a place name. A word in a local New Caledonian language, xaapeta, meaning 'dig a hole', was misheard as, and became, lapita.An excerpt and the site for further research:The low-fired earthenware pottery, often tempered with shell or sand, is typically decorated with a dentate (toothed) stamp, and it has been theorised that these decorations may have been transferred to or from less hardy mediums like tapa (bark cloth), mats or tattoos. Undecorated "plainware" pottery is an important part of the Lapita cultural complex, which also includes ground stone adzes and shell artefacts, and flaked stone tools of obsidian, chert and other available rock.Go to this site for all the information:* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapita
When egwugwu come at people, no one is actually hurt. People play the part of being afraid and running away, but come back immediately after the egwugwu changes their attention. If it was a true chaos, the people would not have come back and put themselves in danger.

The Lapita People of South East Asia.
More evidence is surfacing to suggest that the lapita people were a different race than the Polynesians, infact there is little to suggest they were the polynesians ancestors. So they couldn't have created an empire, the lapita were around at a different time than the Polynesians.
The Lapita people of South East Asia.
Yes, the Lapita people branched off into two different cultural groups known as the "Polynesians" who migrated to the eastern Pacific islands and the "Micronesians" who settled in the central Pacific islands. These groups developed distinct cultural practices and traditions over time based on their specific environments and interactions with neighboring societies.

Polynesians are believed to have descended from Austronesian-speaking peoples who originated in Taiwan and migrated across the Pacific. The Maori are a specific Polynesian group who are thought to have originated in eastern Polynesia before migrating to New Zealand. Both groups share ancestry and cultural connections with other Pacific island populations.

Lapita and the Polynesians
According to Wikipedia, Fiji was inhabitate by the Lapita People(Asians) some 130million years ago.
Their is still much debate, but it's generally accepted that the Lapita people are the ancestors of Polynesian people to explain how the Polynesians got to be in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Others argue that the Lapita are Melanesian, just one of many old diverse groups that sprung from human occupation in South East Asia and Australia for the last 50,000 years. However, it's too coincidental that the end of the Lapita pottery also marks the beginning of the Polynesian cultural complex. Research shows that Polynesians and Melanesians have very distinct DNA and morphological traits with some very old and ancient mix, but very little admixture.
The Lapita people are named after the archaeological site in New Caledonia where their distinctive pottery was first discovered in the 1950s. This pottery provided important evidence for understanding the migration and cultural expansion of the Lapita people across the Pacific Islands.
