Culture and the Environment on Easter Island and Tikopia

Paul Ehrlich argues that in the book "Humanity: Gene, Culture, and Human Perspective", cultural practices in a particular society are mainly due to large environmental factors in the area where society is located doing. All religions developed in the desert are monotheistic and the religion that started in the tropical rainforest is polytheistic (Ehrlich, p. 9, handout, 2000). Ehrlich believes that the scale and geography of the region, the climate, the availability of resources - the power of "macro evolution" - will have a major impact on the culture that develops there.

RAPA NUI Rapa Nui In this article, I will explain about Rapa Nui. They will arrive on Easter Island. I will introduce Rapa Nui's basic history and the discovery and residence of Easter Island. We will also consider cultures, marriages, families, religions, traditions and other topics. Rapa Nui is sometimes called Easter Island in Chile. The official name of Spain is Isla de Pascua. Located in the South East Pacific, it is the most isolated island of the Earth.

Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pasca) is a Chilean island located at the easternmost end of the Polynesian Delta in the South East Pacific Oceania. Easter Island is best known for its approximately 1,000 existing huge statues, created by its early Rapa Nui people called Moai. In 1995, UNESCO designated Easter Island as a World Heritage Site. Most of them were protected by Rapa Nui National Park. It is thought that residents of Polynesia on Easter Island arrived in Easter Island around 1200 AD. They created a prosperous and diligent culture with many huge stones and other relics on the island. However, the cultivation of the land and the introduction of rats of Polynesia led to a gradual deforestation. By the time it arrived in Europe in 1722, the island's population was estimated at 2,000 - 3,000. European illness, slave attacks of Peru in the 1860s, and immigrants to other islands

At the Easter of 1722, the Dutch explorer landed on Easter Island. For thousands of years, the civilization that is 4,000 kilometers across the Pacific Ocean is to meet the world for the first time. An island dotted with hundreds of huge stone statues and an unexpected primitive society - strangers are trying to discover something very strange. The first meeting was a big cultural confrontation. (It's also bloodshed: the crew killed ten local people within minutes of the landing.) Where did the islanders come from? Why and how do they increase these numbers? Contemporary science is connected, but it is too late for Easter Islanders.
