Due to their extreme remoteness (they are the most isolated land
formations on the planet), the Hawaiian Islands were colonized by humans
only rather recently, less than 2,000 years ago, which is little more than a
heartbeat compared to the timescale of the archipelago's formation. The
Polynesians were the first to set foot on the island, while hundreds of
years later westerners arrived.
