Lyrics

[00:11.978] The ancestors of these Solomon Islanders
[00:14.924] made that initial 60-mile crossing some 30,000 years ago.
[00:31.165] Whether their ancestors paddled across in hollowed-out tree trunks like these,
[00:35.530] or floated on giant bamboo rafts, no one knows.
[00:55.602] And with land occasionally in sight,
[00:58.723] they would have surely been tempted to investigate.
[01:14.202] By the time people arrived,
[01:15.980] the Solomons were packed with almost a quarter of the plants and animals found in New Guinea
[01:26.197] including their old adversary, the saltwater crocodile.
