🛶 5,000 Years Ago: The Wolf Scouts Depart
- 5000 years ago, on the coast of Fujian, someone built a canoe. Archaeologists call it the “Out of Taiwan” model. I call it the wolf-pack theory
🏝️ Origin: Villagers in Fujian and Taiwan built the first outrigger canoes. - 🌊 Mission: A handful of proto-Austronesians pushed off as scouts.
- 🐺 The Wolf-Pack Theory: Every island became a new den
- Luzon
- Sulawesi
- Fiji
- Tonga and Samoa
- Hawai‘i and Aotearoa
(1,000 years before Columbus).
- 🧬 Legacy: Their descendants became Polynesians, Micronesians, Māori, Hawaiians, Tahitians.
- 🧩 Genetic fingerprint: Haplogroup B4a1a+146 the “Polynesian motif” still links them to Fujian.
🚢 21st Century: The Mother Wolf Pack Returns
- 🐉 The PRC: The mother wolf pack is now the People’s Republic of China.
- 🏗️ New Canoe: Belt-and-Road instead of outriggers.
- 📡 Cargo shift:
- Then: pigs, taro shoots, stone tools.
- Now: concrete, cranes, fiber-optic cable, Huawei 5G towers.
