The Rapa Nui People have been found to be of Polynesian origin through genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA of pre-historic skeletons. Genetic analysis performed by Erik Thorsby and other geneticists in 2007 revealed genetic markers of European and Amerindian origin that suggest that the Rapa Nui had European and Amerindian contributions to their DNA during or before the early 1800s.[3]\nScholars believe that the Rapa Nui had early contact with South America due to the introduction of \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato\" \u0014sweet potato\u0015 and \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottle_gourd\" \u0014bottle gourd\u0015 plants to Easter Island. The bottle gourd was previously thought to have been introduced to Polynesia in ancient times by the Polynesians themselves. However, more recent research found no evidence of it existing historically in Fiji, Samoa, or Tonga. The bottle gourd has been found in Africa, Asia, and the Americas in ancient times and has been traced back to Peru as early as 6000 BCE, but the earliest evidence of the bottle gourd in Polynesia is only from around 350 BCE in New Guinea. The sweet potato also has South American origin and must have been transferred to Easter Island early to have become such a staple part of the Rapa Nui pre-contact diet. It is believed that there must have been contact between the Rapa Nui and South America by 1200–1300 CE.[4]\nEarly European contact (1722–1870 CE)\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Roggeveen\" \u0014Jacob Roggeveen\u0015 was the first European to record contact with the Rapa Nui.
