      From the article:

      „Researchers have found that humans were deliberately crossing open seas in the Philippine islands by about 40,000 years ago and sustaining long-term coastal lifeways.

      That finding reframes these islands not as isolated outposts but as active corridors where movement, survival, and knowledge depended on repeated maritime skill.“

      Whoa, 40,000 years ago they were already crossing open ocean and fishing deep-sea species like shark and bonito? That’s insane. Makes you realize how much we’ve underestimated early humans in Southeast Asia. Mindoro really was a maritime hub back then.
      This completely flips the ‘primitive raft drifters’ narrative. The fact they had the tech and knowledge to maintain island networks for thousands of years is wild. Anyone else geeking out over how early boat-building must have looked?

      60000 years ago is the estimate for Australian aboriginals to have arrived here, so it’s not so incomprehensible.
