Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The first settlers of Vanuatu and Tonga arrived from northern Philippines and Taiwan between 2,300 and 3,100 years ago. DNA extracted from the skeletons found at two archaeological sites on the islands confirm this. It also suggests that the first settlers ma have by passed Papua New Guinea and Australia.
The reason behind their migration is still unknown. Some anthropologists argues that the people from islands of Asia mixed with the people of Papua New guinea, Australia and Solomon Islands while other claim that they went straight to islands such as Tonga.
Researches have also found that the people who colonised Tonga belonged to Lapita ancestry and shared a common ancestry with the present day people of Taiwan.
