- tim333 2y agoPlus you'd need a boat. Borneo is about a hundred miles from the mainland.
- bleuarff 2y agoNot sure that was the case 50ky ago. That was during a glacial period, sea level was probably 100+m below current level.
- nkrisc 2y agoNo, not in the general timeframe being discussed. Most is SEA was connected by land to continental Asia. Even North America and Asia were connected by Beringia. It’s possible you could have even walked to Australia from Asia, though I might be mistaken about that.
- doitLP 2y agoSure with excellent roads and 99% of predators gone and most importantly, a reason to do it.
- aksss 2y agoPredators including the human variety.
- nkrisc 2y agoI’m not aware of studies involving radiocarbon dating of paved roads, so I can’t say conclusively, but I believe the leading hypothesis is that they didn’t exist 50,000 years ago.
- croisillon 2y agosome kind of exchange program for artists to residence in various places in the world, i like your hypothesis!
