The chapter “Fools’ Paradise” of Ronald Wright’s A Short History of Progress analyzes how Sumer and a settlement in this place fell into a “progress trap.” People from this place constructed rock gardens called manavai to support tree growth. A culture from this place produced small wooden figures named for their visible ribs. One ethnographer theorized that “short-eared” people exterminated this place’s “long-eared” (15[1])leaders. Wooden tablets discovered at this place depict glyphs written in reverse boustrophedon style, the (*) rongorongo script. People from this place swam to a nearby island to retrieve an egg as part of its “birdman cult.” Some scholars argue that this place’s extensive deforestation was caused by the Polynesian rat, contrary to Jared Diamond’s debunked argument in Collapse. For 10 points, the Rapa Nui people constructed gigantic mo’ai statues on what island? ■END■
