Have you heard of the theory ofone soid land mass. When I was a child years and years ago they had us to cut out all the continents on the map of the world and it all its fairly close together take into account erosion I sort of buy in a little and after that have you heard of Thor Hyerdall SP? He took a tiny little boat places and so far where people wont go on big ships. When a person really wts something they can do amazing things.

During the ice age there was less water as it was locked up in glaciers and polar ice, so there was more land. Much of what are now islands were attached to land masses. So people walked and I think simple canoes like those in Polynesia went back farther than we think.

The Polynesians were fantastic navigators - they could use the stars, the shape of ocean swells and even birds to get to land. The colonized many of the Pacific islands with those double-hulled canoes. Probably the greatest navigators in history - they did it without compass or maps

They went by land and bt sea, It was not that hard to get around, remember there was more joined land then and the ocean had yet to cover most of it. wink2.gif

Humanity is extremely ancient...they are an information format that has been utilized by entities for eons. One must awaken to Virtual understandings in order to know the truth of existence.

Boats.

The Aboriginies used boats, settled and then lost the technology.


I suppose when some land was connected where it isn't now as well.

thats called pangea, and im realativley certain that it is the way things used to be also, but it predates human history by a couple millenia.
mostly the walked, we are relatively sure that it has not been very long since the bering strait was not covered in water, providing a land bridge between siberia and alaska.
bering strait

once you make it to alaska, if you follow the coastline only you could walk (well maybe YOU couldn't) all the way to the southernmost tip of south america, and never have to cross water!!!

Well, Humanity is said to be traced back 500,000 years, and evolutionists say that we have been around for 6 million years.

By spaceship?

How DIDN'T they travel? After you figure that out, you will find out how they traveled. Reason of deduction I think it's called. Well, something like that....

Out of Eden by Stephen Oppenheimer is one of the best books I've read on the subject of human dispersal around the world. Recommended original.gif

We were wandering out of Africa maybe 70,000 years ago. Within 10,000 years we'd built rafts to cross to Australia (which even at the height of the ice age was never connected to SE Asia) although it took a good deal longer before we started visiting the myriad of Pacific Islands.

By 5,000 years ago we were everywhere, except Antarctica.
