Tikibars, excellent breakdown.

Were all of the short ears (or long ears) burned in a fire during the calamity that befell Te Pito o te Henua where one of the warring groups was trapped between a fire ravine and was killed in battle (as a result of a girlfriend who betrayed her lineage for love?)

If so, does that mean that Heyerdahl chronicled the last long-ear descendent and all of the short ears perished?

What do you make of the 39 similar last names still remaining?
