- Pre-Māori_settlement_of_New_Zealand_theories abstract "Since the 18th century, Europeans have been interested in the origins of human migration and settlement of New Zealand. Captain James Cook, who arrived in 1769, believed that the Māori were Polynesian and had come from southeast Asia, however some other early visitors speculated that they might be descended from ancient Greeks, Romans or Egyptians, and some Christian missionaries thought that the Māori ancestors belonged to the lost tribes of Israel.During the 19th century, ideas about Aryan (or Caucasian) migrations became popular and these were applied to New Zealand. Edward Tregear's The Aryan Maori (1885) suggested that Aryans from India migrated to the southeast Asia and then the islands of the Pacific, including New Zealand.The Moriori people were in the early 20th century thought to be possibly of Melanesian rather than Polynesian origin, but they are now regarded as related to early Maori of the Archaic or Moa-hunter period.Although modern archaeology has largely clarified questions of the origin and dates of the earliest migrations, some writers have continued to speculate that what is now New Zealand was discovered by 'Celts', Greeks or Egyptians, before the arrival of the Polynesian ancestors of the Māori.".
