GEOGRAPHY QUESTION

I think that the geography of the Moriori island had a big impact on them. The island was not big at all which lead to a small population of people that all lived near each other. They didn't have the space to have wars between different tribes which is why they were so peaceful. They were forced to go to a hunter-gatherer society because the islands soil could not grow their native crops. The animals they hunted were so easy to kill they didn't have to develop advanced weaponry. This all lead to their extinction because they wouldn't fight, they had no weapons, and they had a very small population.
