What were the two groups that The Lapita people branched off into too?
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.
How did the lapita people get there name?
From the awesome and finely decorated pottery they made. To be more specific, lapita pottery is recognised for it's unique and intricate designs which is so precise and elaborately decorated on early pottery. These type of pottery pieces were initially discovered in New Caledonia, in a place called Lapita, hence, the name. These type of pottery were later being discovered in other Pacific islands which created the idea that they were being associated with movement and migration in the Pacific as the people would take it with them wherever they would go. With this idea, these early peopple and their migration pattern were penned the "Lapita people". I'm no expert but that's as much as I know, hope it answers you well. Cheers
