Nathan & Oscar's Adventure

From what I have from watched I learnt that nathan and oscar backtracked their dna and decided to travel back to where their ancestors are said to come from. I learnt that samoan and maori people may have come from Taiwan and that the patterns from Vanuatu are called Lapita. Something I found interesting is that we actually came from somewhere in asia and that the name of the ancestors were called lapita. I would recommend this to other student if they want to learn more about this culture and where they came from.
