Dynamic landscape modeling reveals how evolving terrain impacted First Peoples' movement across Sahul (35,000-70,000 years ago)

Led by Tristan Salles from SydneyUniGeo, the study offers a fresh perspective on studies of migration patterns.

Great article discussing the reconstruction of ancient Australia:

'When trying to understand the dispersion of first humans in Sahul, one overlooked aspect has been the impact of the changing landscape itself. '

Colonization of Sahul by Homo sapiens is an ongoing topic of research. Salles et al. model the environment through time in combination with Lévy walk foraging patterns to suggest a wave of dispersal following coastlines and rivers.

By detailing the landscape at the time of first humans’ migration into Australia, we can better understand how people travelled and where they settled.
