ANSWER: According to Project Gutenberg's A Racial Study of the Fijians, by Norman E. Gabel "The Fijians are the Afro Polynesian". N.E. Gabel is of English & Jewish descent. Although some think that Fiji is part of Melanesia, it is actually the crossroads of Polynesia and Melanesia, and most Fijians have Polynesian DNA. There are still old settlements of Samoans in Fiji, settlements there long before the first Europeans learned to sail the Pacific. The island culture of Fiji is often celebrated together with Polynesia.
