“Specialists conducted the first radiocarbon Dating of layers of rocks formed in the southern part of the continent to the latest occurrence of the glaciers.

The first people came to the continent about 50 million years ago when sea level was several tens of meters lower than at present. Due to this the natives were scattered throughout the territory of the modern Sunda Islands, New Guinea and Australia, moving by land.
