Samoans were born on a tropical island, they play football year round, and genetics evolved to give them an advantage. Hopi Indians were born way above sea level, which increased their lung capacity, which also gives them a big advantage when it comes

    In January of 1778, Captain Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands. Many foreigners from around the world began to arrive, introducing many new things to the Hawaiians. Foreign influence brought trade to Hawaii, which gave Hawaiians metal and guns. Even though foreign influence had some positive effects on Hawaii, I believe that foreign influence had a negative impact on Hawaii because trade brought not only guns and metal, but it also led to famine, disease, debt, and the deaths and lessening of the Hawaiian population.…
