Here's some actual research on how the Easter Island stones were moved. Note that some methods used as few as one person per ton of material:

www.pbs.org...

(I'm not suggesting that any of these is correct -- only that you've viewing ancient man in terms of what you know today... and that you don't know how to use their tech or what its limitations are (probably most of you could not make an English longbow that would shoot as well or as far as the ones that Henry used at the Battle of Agincourt. This doesn't mean that you're stupid of the English had their bows made by aliens. It just means we don't know their tech.))

Nova had a team try out Dr. Tilberg's methods and the story starts here: www.pbs.org...

If you read through it, you see the conclusions (demonstrated) that six to eight families could have made and moved and erected the heaviest statues there. They used old tech (ropes and wood only) and human muscle. So yes, it's possible that a team of a thousand people could have moved immense slabs.

i found an article here:mysteriousplaces.com...

One paragraph reads :
"But there is a third origin story that as far fetched as it seems has scientific proof behind it. Around 1536 a Spanish ship, the San Lesmems was lost near Tahiti. Legends tell of the Basque survivors intermarrying with the Polynesians. Either they or their descendants set off from Tahiti to try and return home in the 1600's and were never seen again. Interestingly, genetic testing of pure blood Rapa Nui revealed the presence of Basque genes."

This could explain the white skinned red headed islanders as well as the question of how they got the logs for moving the statues, they could just used the ship to transport them.

Tho i think that its more likely that trees did once grow there, tho the species (i think thats the right word for trees) is extinct , and no other trees today can handle the soil/terrain/climate to grow there.
