Kurzfassung: This paper reexamines M. Mead's suggestion that Oceania is peculiarly suitable for natural experiments in cultural evolution. It is concluded that Oceania, especially Polynesia, provides a paradigmatic case for several factors in social evolution. The conditions that make the region suitable for experiments are discussed, and a number of hypotheses are suggested that are apt for examination in this context.
