Anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens, AMH) began spreading across Eurasia from
Africa and adjacent Southwest Asia about 50,000–55,000 years ago (ca. 50–55 ka). Some …

[HTML][HTML] Sea level rise drowned a vast habitable area of north-western Australia driving long-term cultural change
For most of the period of human occupation of Sahul (the combined Pleistocene landmass of
Australia and New Guinea), lower sea levels exposed an extensive area of the northwest of …

[HTML][HTML] Least-cost pathway models indicate northern human dispersal from Sunda to Sahul
Archaeological records from Australia provide the earliest, indirect evidence for maritime
crossings by early modern humans, as the islands to the north-west of the continent …

Landscape rules predict optimal superhighways for the first peopling of Sahul
Archaeological data and demographic modelling suggest that the peopling of Sahul
required substantial populations, occurred rapidly within a few thousand years and …

Stochastic models support rapid peopling of Late Pleistocene Sahul
The peopling of Sahul (the combined continent of Australia and New Guinea) represents the
earliest continental migration and settlement event of solely anatomically modern humans …

Early human settlement of Sahul was not an accident
The first peopling of Sahul (Australia, New Guinea and the Aru Islands joined at lower sea
levels) by anatomically modern humans required multiple maritime crossings through …

Widespread Denisovan ancestry in Island Southeast Asia but no evidence of substantial super-archaic hominin admixture
The hominin fossil record of Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) indicates that at least two endemic
'super-archaic'species—Homo luzonensis and H. floresiensis—were present around the …

Papuan mitochondrial genomes and the settlement of Sahul
New Guineans represent one of the oldest locally continuous populations outside Africa,
harboring among the greatest linguistic and genetic diversity on the planet. Archeological …

Minimum founding populations for the first peopling of Sahul
The timing, context and nature of the first people to enter Sahul is still poorly understood
owing to a fragmented archaeological record. However, quantifying the plausible …

Framing Australian Pleistocene coastal occupation and archaeology
There are few archaeological sites that contain records for Pleistocene coastal occupation in
Australia, as is the case globally. Two major viewpoints seek to explain why so few sites …
