Read the following scenario and answer the question below.
Northeast of Australia and northwest of Fiji lies the isolated tropical island of Tikopia. Less than two miles in length, it supports 1200 people and has been continuously occupied for nearly 3000 years, with the population holding steady for much of that time. It has a two-month dry season every year and lies in the Pacificʹs cyclone belt, which destroys homes and gardens on an unpredictable but regular basis. Tikopia is too far away from other islands to have any regular contact; the islanders must be self-sufficient.
