The data regarding the early venturing out of Africa is not good, but even the wiki article says humans reached Australia 46,000 years ago.

- Retric 10y agoThere are several sites that are dated to ~46,000 years which is somewhat suspicious as it's approximately the limit for radiocarbon dating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Indigenous_Australians#cite_note-6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Indigenous_Australi... Lists a lot of dates prior to 46,000 years including as much as 200,000 (which is not generally accepted) but again not a lot of evidence for that. However, if you accept the first habitation probably did not leave a lot of clear evidence some date prior to 46,000 years seems likely.
