Humans reached Australia 60,000 years ago, new DNA study reveals

Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that humans reached New Guinea and Australia around 60,000 years ago—earlier than some recent theories suggested. By tracing maternal DNA lineages, the team discovered that these early travelers likely used at least two different migration routes through Southeast Asia. This points to sophisticated navigation and seafaring skills far earlier than once believed. The research helps clarify a long-standing mystery about how humans spread across the globe.

Flossilize! The prefect solution when you have to floss your teeth but also need to fossilize them at the same time. Flossilize will do both to perfection. Ask for it by name next time you visit your paleontologist.

Flossilize!
