Man on the Rim: The Peopling of the Pacific
by
The four continents that make up the rim of the mighty Pacific Ocean were the last great areas of earth to be settled by humans. The first people to look out on the Pacific arrived on its western shores from Africa more than a million years ago, but their descendants only completed that occupation 1000 years ago, with the discovery of the islands of Polynesia.

A really good work on how humanity arrived in the Pacific region. Thorne covers the peopling of Asia, Australia, the Americas and the islands of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia, in other words, the whole Pacific region. The documentary series was a real classic in the 1990s.
