The pattern of prehistoric human dispersal through Eastern Polynesia, representing one of the last major migrations in human history, remains highly contested with conflicting archaeological evidence. The commensal approach, using the phylogenies of commensal animal and plant species has been increasingly applied since the late 1990s as a proxy for human movement. Previous genetic commensal research using the Pacific rat, Rattus exulans, a species transported across Remote Oceania as part of the Polynesian expansion, has been largely unsuccessful in distinguishing finer-scale movements between Remote Oceanic islands, with the majority of rat samples adhering to the same mitochondrial control region haplotype. It was anticipated that with g...
