Abstract

New Guinea's Ancient Colonies Isolated by water, Australia and New Guinea were some of the last major parts of the world colonized by modern humans. Summerhayes et al. (p. 78 ; see the Perspective by

Gosden

) describe an archaeological site in the highlands of New Guinea that sheds light on this migration. The record extends back to nearly 50,000 years ago and thus represents one of the earliest known records. Nuts and yams were widely consumed, and the variety of stone tools discovered implies that the early humans may have cleared forest patches to promote the growth of useful plants.
