I apologize for the repeated answer. The correct response is: both based their economies on navigating the seas and fishing.
To determine which of the following characteristics are shared by Polynesian and Aboriginal cultures, we can analyze each statement one by one:
1. Both created elaborate wood carvings to represent gods and kings.
Polynesian culture did indeed have a tradition of creating intricate wood carvings to represent deities, chiefs, and other important figures. Aboriginal culture, on the other hand, does not have a history of elaborate wood carving traditions. Therefore, this statement is not true, and the characteristic of creating wood carvings is not shared between the two cultures.
2. Both formed agricultural settlements.
Both Polynesian and Aboriginal cultures practiced some form of agriculture. While Polynesian culture was more heavily reliant on agriculture, with the cultivation of crops such as taro, sweet potato, and breadfruit, Aboriginal culture also practiced a limited form of agriculture, including the cultivation of yams, bush tomatoes, and other native plants. Therefore, this statement is true, and the characteristic of forming agricultural settlements is shared between the two cultures.
3. Both based their economies on navigating the seas and fishing.
Polynesian culture has a long history of navigational skills and fishing as a significant part of their economy. They were skilled seafarers who relied on navigation to explore and settle the Pacific Islands. Aboriginal culture, however, did not have as much emphasis on navigation and fishing as Polynesians. While Aboriginal people did engage in fishing, their economies were more diverse and included hunting, gathering, and trading of various resources. Therefore, this statement is not true, and the characteristic of basing economies on navigating the seas and fishing is not shared between the two cultures.
4. Both cultures share a common ancestry.
Polynesian and Aboriginal cultures do not share a common ancestry. Polynesians originated from Southeast Asia and migrated across the Pacific, settling in different island groups over thousands of years. On the other hand, Aboriginal people are the indigenous inhabitants of Australia and have a distinct genetic and cultural heritage. Therefore, this statement is not true, and the two cultures do not share a common ancestry.
In conclusion, the characteristic that is shared between Polynesian and Aboriginal cultures is the formation of agricultural settlements.
