The humans that roamed Australia 50,000 years ago
This video explores the fascinating story of early human migration to Australia, examining archaeological evidence that reveals how modern humans reached the continent at least 50,000 years ago. Stefan Milo discusses key sites like Devil's Lair in Western Australia, the Madjedbebe rock shelter, and the remarkable maritime journey that brought the first Australians across ocean barriers from Southeast Asia. The video covers the 'Out of Africa' migration patterns, genetic evidence confirming Aboriginal Australians as descendants of one of the earliest human expansions, and the megafauna that early Australians encountered including giant kangaroos and Diprotodon.
