Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polynesia is known to have been the last region in Oceania to be settled by humans before European contact. This is because Polynesia is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, far away from other land masses, making it more difficult to reach and colonize. Melanesia and Micronesia, on the other hand, are closer to other land masses, and Australia had been inhabited for tens of thousands of years before European contact.
