Kirch and Green develop an anthropological approach to long-term history, combining archaeology, comparative ethnography, and historical linguistics. They advance a phylogenetic model for cultural diversification, and apply a triangulation method for historical reconstruction, presenting a detailed reconstruction of Hawaiki, the Ancestral Polynesian culture that flourished some 2,500 years ago.
