BOATS!!!
Many new languages migrated to Australia
Stayed gatherers and hunters for a very long time (long after the rest of the world switched to agriculture)
Evidence of many ceremonies, stories, and dances
Tools of stone and wood

5. Evan
Into the Americas
Theory: most moved into America on the Bering Strait (ice bridge) and down the west coast
Coincided with end of ice age (extinction of many large mammals), so a lot of the first civilization there died off.
Very little is known about migration into North America
Much harder to survive in the Americas, so evidence of a certain time period that they moved here is scattered and not at all exact

6. Into the Pacific MORE BOATS!!! Spoke Austronesian languages
Took agriculture with them (after the ice age)
Started building societies
Impact on the environment, especially Easter Islands
Dylan

7. And then most of the world was inhabited…
But migrations never stopped.
