  • 00:00

    Some of the greatest inventions can often be the simplest

  • 00:04

    and some can even be the oldest

  • 00:06

    In this case we must go 70 thousand years into the past.

  • 00:12

    This was a time of hunting and gathering.

  • 00:15

    A time in which humans who looked just like us, lived a very different lifestyle.

  • 00:20

    A tribal life, roaming the region of Africa.

  • 00:25

    At the time, Earth’s climate was heading into the peak period of the Ice Age.

  • 00:30

    This change would cool the earth’s average temperature by 6 degrees Celsius and would

  • 00:35

    drop the sea levels by an entire 100 metres.

  • 00:40

    For reference, this is Japan before and during the ice age.

  • 00:45

    You can also see a lot of land is under the water now

  • 00:48

    Japan today is no longer connected to the asian continent either.

  • 00:55

    Two million homosapiens (humans) were estimated to populate the earth at the time.

  • 01:01

    Bands of 50 to 300 individuals roamed the lands of Africa in search of areas with enough

  • 01:07

    water, wildlife and vegetation to survive.

  • 01:12

    While most had roamed in their most familiar region of Africa, some had tried to migrate

  • 01:17

    out of it, towards the cooler climates.

  • 01:20

    These migrations did not go well though.

  • 01:24

    Human remains have been found outside of Africa as far back as a 100,000 years ago

  • 01:30

    but there isn't much evidence that they survived for long.

  • 01:34

    They likely died from disease or famine.

  • 01:38

    More migration attempts continued, until a few, more advanced tribes, had successfully

  • 01:43

    migrated through the region of Iran, then India and even as far as Malaysia by the end of 70,000 BC.

  • 01:52

    Those waves of migrations, from Africa to Malaysia, were only possible because of the

  • 01:56

    fast advancements, of our tools and techniques.

  • 02:00

    Needles made from bone, have allowed our ancestors to make clothing from furs, which sheltered them

  • 02:06

    from the cooler climates they had migrated to.

  • 02:10

    Humans of those times, have also started using throwing spears which had allowed them to

  • 02:15

    hunt more effectively, from a safer distance.

  • 02:18

    They used fire to burn forests, to lure animals into traps, and to encourage a quicker growth

  • 02:24

    of edible roots and tubers.

  • 02:27

    They could also fish with bone hooks, harpoons and by setting up stone fish traps.

  • 02:33

    Those are some of the examples, of new tools and techniques that have helped our ancestors colonise new regions.

  • 02:40

    What's perhaps more interesting though, is how they began their migration to Australia

  • 02:45

    as they have used a technology, that would revolutionise exploration for thousands of years to come.

  • 02:53

    Up until 65,000 years ago, according to Archaeologists, the only means of long distance travel was walking.

  • 03:01

    but the populations located in Borneo, had a different idea.

  • 03:05

    The humans roaming the coasts of Borneo, probably noticed land far into the sea, and the curiosity

  • 03:11

    might have driven them to attempt to reach it.

  • 03:15

    This in turn, over hundreds or thousands of years, might have led them to the invention

  • 03:20

    of canoes as well as sea travel.

  • 03:23

    The advancement of sea travel, has allowed humans to reach lands in which the ecosystem,

  • 03:28

    has completely developed in isolation, wildlife totally unaware of the human threat.

  • 03:35

    This gave our ancestors all the advantage they needed, to not just survive but to actually thrive.

  • 03:43

    The first over the sea migration, probably started in Borneo, where the local tribes

  • 03:48

    must have crossed to Sulawesi by water.

  • 03:52

    Followed by a crossing of multiple small islands, they made their way to New Guinea which was

  • 03:57

    still at the time connected to Australia by land.

  • 04:01

    Those first few tribes that inhabited the surface of Australia, must have been completely

  • 04:06

    shocked at the difference, between the two continents they had the pleasure to see.

  • 04:12

    The unique situation of Australia being completely isolated, surrounded by sea, for the past

  • 04:18

    40 million years, enabled the ecosystem to develop in a very unique way.

  • 04:24

    Our seafaring ancestors who walked the Australian continent must have witnessed strange animals.

  • 04:30

    Such as the Now long extinct Diprotodon.

  • 04:33

    A 3,000 kilogram mammal that was the largest known marsupial to ever exist, or.

  • 04:40

    Megalania, a venomous 7 metre long reptile, which outweighed even some of the smaller dinosaurs.

  • 04:48

    These animals evolved in total isolation for millions of years.

  • 04:53

    The isolated nature of Australia has left them ill-equipped to face humans and consequently

  • 04:59

    almost 200 Australian species have gone extinct within a very short period of 20,000 years after the first humans arrived.

  • 05:09

    Interestingly It was found that the Australian settlers at some point had began falling behind

  • 05:15

    technologically compared to other African migrants.

  • 05:18

    The theory is, there wasn't much need to innovate, since there was no threats, no hunger and

  • 05:24

    no hostility between clans on the Australian continent at the time.

  • 05:29

    That's just one instance of canoes as well as sea travel and how it affected our ancestor’s way of life.

  • 05:37

    Since then boats have been used for a multitude of tasks, and, have assisted us in almost all parts of life.

  • 05:44

    They weren't just used for exploration, but also for trade, fishing, transport, as well as entertainment.

  • 05:51

    They are an integral part of today's society, and it's sometimes shocking, to think that

  • 05:57

    it was our cave dwelling ancestors, 65,000 years ago who first invented sailing.

  • 06:07

    I hope you have enjoyed this video, if you did I think you would be interested in this one...

  • 06:12

    It's about the origin and evolution of fishing by the ancient humans.
