Question

1. what evidence suggests that polynesians populated easter island relatively recently?

b) ancient texts
c) european records
d) satellite images

Explanation:

Genetic research can trace the ancestry and migration patterns of populations. It can provide evidence about when Polynesians populated Easter Island. Ancient texts may not be reliable or may not exist for this specific time - frame and population movement. European records are likely to be from a later time after the initial Polynesian settlement. Satellite images are useful for geographical and landscape features, not for determining the time of human settlement.

Answer:

a) Genetic research
