The South Pacific Islands are the most isolated in the world. |
| [00:25.00] |
Some are more than 4,000 miles from the nearest continent. |
| [00:33.43] |
The odds against any life reaching these islands, |
| [00:36.81] |
and flourishing, were once minute. |
| [00:42.76] |
But no matter how remote they may be, |
| [00:45.54] |
all have been colonised, |
| [00:50.45] |
first by plants and animals and then by humans. |
| [00:58.41] |
So who were those castaways |
| [01:00.23] |
and how did they ever reach these far-flung islands? |
