[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 7730661, member: 6803643"] Not quite the same boat. Different wave of migration through Asia. People made it to Australia by 45 KYA. What we're learning is that at the times when we thought people were walking across Beringia, it wasn't walkable – that was always around 12.6 KYA. Now we have evidencde that the Clovis culture was there 13 KYA and Pre-Clovis Peoples arrived 14.7 KYA or even earlier (possibly even as early as as 18 KYA). This is long after the journey to Australia, but still long before the Great Polynesian Migrations, which happened 8 KYA from South China to Taiwan, then around 3 KYA from there to the western edges of Micronesia and Melanesia, and then didn't pick back up again until around 1.3 KYA, at which point they populated all of the Pacific Ocean. By the way, genetic studies also tell us that there were two groups that made the journey into North America – a group of Eurasians and a group of Polynesian/Australasians, that make up the genetic stock of indigenous North Americans. So yeah, there's a connection with the Polynesians, but not because this was part of the same incredible Wayfinder journey. Rather, this was travelling by boats along the coasts of Siberia and Alaska, and some of those who came to make that journey had travelled from the Pacific islands to join with the travellers who had come from inland Russia. Finally, what this study also tells us is that the Clovis Culture, which arrived in northwestern Canada around 13 KYA, probably came up from the south, shooting off from Pre-Clovis Culture that arrived south of the glaciers by boat, rather than as a separate migration of peoples. That conforms with 2015's study that suggests that all peoples came at the same time.
