You literally said, "and having to be active when getting their food" and you mentioned "climate" both of which I alluded to... so you're just restating what I said. Look up "Bergmann's rule and the thrifty genotype" its a journal about the evolution of Polynesians.

    I’m a primitive survivalist, have been practicing and sometimes living with the skills for nearly 12 years. I went to Hawaii back in 2014, twice, and went on a walk down a trail (naturally I went off trail) and near a crystal clear and BEAUTIFUL waterfall. I came across a fallen sapling with fibrous inner bark and made a long piece of cordage for a bow-drill kit that did not need splicing. I wonder what species of plant that was. I never did any research on it. I love coconut though, such a useful “plant” or seed as he called it. The North American equivalent in my opinion would be Pine.

    Does anyone know the name of this fella, or better yet say his name as an explanation of his origins as I am Samoan and am very impressed with his expressions and knowledge of Samoan stories and culture. He does look very familiar and I, for one am proud of his knowledge of the coconut and it's different uses in everyday Samoan life. Mahalo, and thanks for the memories.
