How on Earth did Fiji and New Caledonia get some of the weirdest migration history of anywhere in Melanesia or the world? Today we're going to discuss a brief history of the Melanesians and their relation to other groups including the Polynesians, Europeans and other groups and just how two groups managed to get so far from home in these remote islands.

Please let me know your thoughts on these Melanesian islands and their unique demographic makeup and other aspects of their history, including the political strife, conflicts and developments that have shaped this region in recent years. Thanks for watching!
