　　托福阅读句子插入题：the Pacific Island

　　【Paragraph 2】Speculation on the origin of these Pacific islanders began as soon as outsiders encountered them,　in the absence of solid linguistic, archaeological, and biological data, many fanciful and mutually exclusive theories were　devised. Pacific islanders are variously thought to have come from North America, South America, Egypt, Israel, and　India, as well as Southeast Asia. ■Many older theories implicitly deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural　creativity of the Pacific islanders. ■For example, British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry assumed that only　Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific. ■They inferred that the Egyptians evencrossed the Pacific to found the great civilizations of the New World (North and South Americ○. ■In 1947 Norwegian　adventurer Thor Heyerdahl drifted on a balsa-log raft westward with the winds and currents across the Pacific from South　America to prove his theory that Pacific islanders were Native Americans (also called American Indians). Later Heyerdahl　suggested that the Pacific was peopled by three migrations: by Native Americans from the Pacific Northwest of North　America drifting to Hawaii, by Peruvians drifting to Easter Island, and by Melanesians. In 1969 he crossed the Atlantic in　an Egyptian-style reed boat to prove Egyptian influences in the Americas. Contrary to these theorists, the overwhelming　evidence of physical anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology shows that the Pacific islanders came from Southeast　Asia and were skilled enough as navigators to sail against the prevailing winds and currents.(The Origin of the Pacific Island People)

　　Later theories concentrate on journeys in the other direction.

　　Where could the sentence best fit?
