In Papua New Guinea in the mountains archaeologists have found the most remarkable things. They have found stone tools plants remains, and this is in the early 49,000 years ago and people lived 2,000 meter or 1.2 miles above sea level. 50,000 years ago some type of human lived on what we call earth and lived in savannas, rain forests in southeastern Asia's land. 

They have figured out that they have crossed oceans on some kind of ocean craft or boat this was about 10,000 years ago. Archaeologists think early humans spread from Africa to Sahul along the cost and live at low altitudes. Some archaeologists thing are acting nomadic moving from place to place and then after a few years move back to the place were they started. They also found some evidence that they also lived at high altitudes. They say finding modern humans is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. They have used radio carbon to see the dates and they have found a part of a human that is 41,400 years old. They also have found sharp objects that they are guessing is used for spires or knifes to kill animals of to protect them selfs from predators.   

I think that this article is really interesting and that it will  help me with humanities and might help me with science because of the thing they say. But i really enjoyed reading and making an current event on it.
