YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA NEW groundbreaking archaeological research paper from April 2025 suggests ancient human seafaring may have occurred as far back as 40,000 years ago. Drawing from research published in the Journal of Archaeological Science by Fuentes and Pollock of the Ateneo de Manila University, this video explores early human migration, prehistoric cave art in Sulawesi, deep-sea fishing tools, stone flint artifacts with plant residue, and evidence of inter-island trade in ancient Indonesia. Could early hominins have built primitive boats using plant fibers, bamboo, and animal skin sails to cross the seas of Wallacea? Let's dive into their work and the compelling argument that's made!
Side note - please forgive the aura blur - I had to make due with an impromptu "green screen" while traveling. Hopefully that doesn't take away from the message or research!
