He's written hundreds of scientific articles and now edits three journals, all without having attended a university or earned an academic degree.

Quite an achievement!

I donno. This is sort of paleontology, or maybe archaeology. My list usually doesn't get into that. I hate to over-ping.

Today, we know the islands are there; why would a stone-age man assume that land masses were scattered all about the sea if he could not see them or be able to talk to someone who had seen them?

Am I to assume that a pre-historic Gilligan got lost on a summer's day?

A day fisherman was blown to the island and managed to make it back to his village?

Isn't Flores the island believed to have been inhabited by hobbit-like hominids?

There are signs of land long before land comes into view. If the next island were 30 miles, they would be 100% sure. To cross to Easter Island would take navigational skills using stars, and a spirit of adventure.

Yes. Tiny people who most believe are/were Homo-Erectus.

"There are signs of land long before land comes into view. "

In my youth and after being at sea for a while, I could smell land even when it was far out of sight.

That's one. There is also a quality to the water and its motion, things in the water, maybe the seafloor rising up if the water is clear enough, birds, maybe even different kinds of fish.
