Fiji, more appropriately called the Fijian Islands, was first settled about three and a half thousand years ago. Unlike the islands of Polynesia which showed a continuous steadily evolving culture from initial occupation, Fiji appears to have undergone at least two periods of rapid cultural change in pre-historical times.
