 hspMaori, on the other hand, is a subpopulation of hpEastAsia, previously isolated from Polynesians (Maoris, Tongans, and Samoans) in New Zealand, and three individuals from the Philippines and Japan.The study found hspMaori from Native Taiwanese, Melanesians, Polynesians, and two inhabitants from the Torres Strait Islands, all of which are Austronesian sources.As expected, hspMaori showed greatest genetic diversity in Taiwan, while all non-Taiwanese hspMaori populations belonged to a single lineage they called the "Pacific clade."
