Description Micronesia began to be peopled earlier than other parts of Remote Oceania, but its inhabitants’ origins remain unclear. We generated genome-wide data from 164 ancient and 112 modern individuals. Analysis reveals five migratory streams into Micronesia. Three are East Asian-related, one is Polynesian, and a fifth is a Papuan source related to mainland New Guineans which is different from the New Britain-related Papuan source for southwest Pacific populations, but similarly derived from male migrants ~2500-2000 years ago. People of the Mariana Archipelago may derive all their pre-colonial ancestry from East Asian sources, making them the only Remote Oceanians without Papuan ancestry. Female-inherited mitochondrial DNA was highly differentiated across early Remote Oceanian communities but homogeneous within, implying matrilocal practices whereby women rarely moved households after marriage.
