"In 2009 a survey by the University of Hawaii found that both islands had males averaging 1.8034 m (5 ft 11 in) tall, while immigrants descending from both nations equalled that of Dinarians and Dutch at 1.857 m (6 ft 1 in) tall.."
 
The beginning of a fairy-tale about huge Polynesians? Where is the source? Some Polynesians are indeed tall by European standards, but the highest number that I have ever seen is 179 cm in the Maori. The rest of Polynesian ethnic groups is of moderate stature around 175 cm. I am sorry, but these numbers look entirely fabricated.
