Abstract

New Guinea's Ancient Colonies: Isolated by water, Australia and New Guinea were some of the last major parts of the world colonized by modern humans. Summerhayes et al. (p. 78 ; see the Perspective by Gosden ) describe an archaeological site in the highlands of New Guinea that sheds light on this migration. The record extends back to nearly 50,000 years ago and thus represents one of the earliest known records. Nuts and yams were widely consumed, and the variety of stone tools discovered implies that the early humans may have cleared forest patches to promote the growth of useful plants.

  • Initial human occupation of Australia from the north began before 47 kyBP.

    “Initial occupation from the north appears to have begun before 47 kyBP (1–8) with relatively rapid movement therafter”

    From Humans, water, and the colonization of Australia (2016) · cites this paper as [7]

  • Both Niah Cave and Vilakuav suggest human occupation through this region by at least 50 ka: Niah initial occupation 47-50 ka cal BP and Vilakuav initial occupation 43.1-49.1 ka cal BP.

    “Both these sites suggest human occupation through this region by at least 50 ka: 47eca.50 ka cal BP initial occupation at Niah (OxA-V-2057-31; the upper end at the limit of radiocarbon dating: Higham et al., 2009) and 43.1e49.1 ka cal BP initial occupation at Vilakuav (Wk 27072; Summerhayes et al., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
