Para echarle mas le�a a la foguera de parenentescos, no debemos olvidarnos la
teoria de Thor Heyerdhal con la posible relaci�n entre los pueblos andinos y
los pueblos de Ocean�a. Yo no se si ustedes en esta lista acepten como
sustento (al menos como indicio) de esta teor�a a la c�lebre expedici�n del
Kon-Tiki, capitaneada por el propio Heyerdhal en lo a�os 50, y que al parecer
di� mucho para hablar. El parentesco propuesto por Heyerdhal es en el sentido
Andes->Ocean�a.
Tambi�n, el siguiente mensaje esta relacionado con todo esto.

Arpasi,
I am from New Zealand, deep in the South Pacific. The indigenous people of N,Z, are
the Maori and for many years I have been researching their origins. The accepted
theory is that the Polynesians (Maori) originated in S.E.Asia but all of the
traditions claim that their ancestors came from a "mainland far away to the East. This
can only be South America and it appears from the traditional evidence that their
ancestors originated in the Titicaca region of Peru and Bolivia. I have discovered
many words that are exactly the same in Maori and in Quechua and Aymara. The
Polynesians brought the 'sweet-potato' (Camote) with them when they first entered the
Pacific over 2,000 years ago. Its name came with it and is known in the Maori language
as 'Kumara', the original Peruvian name. I notice that for many years Wira Cocha or
Huira Cocha's name has confused some researchers. The modern Quechua word 'wira'
meaning fat suggests that it may have had an earlier meaning. Throughout the Pacif!
ic 'Huira' is the word for 'ligh
All the best
Louis,
