If you read the thread you'll see I was responding to comments made earlier. I wasn't trying to divert the discussion, I was asking for clarification on statements I didn't completely understand.
I did see the article to which punafish posted a link. If you're interested in a longer discussion on the similarities and differences between world cultures I would highly recommend "Religion in Human Evolution" by Robert N. Bellah. He focuses on Israel, Greece, China, and India, but there's also a short section on Hawaii. He describes the changes Hawaii went through from an initial settlement of possibly 50 people, growing to a simple chiefdom, regional chiefdoms, then a kingdom. Quite pertinent to this exchange about the TMT.
