Seafaring Ancestor Discovered by University of the Philippines Anthropologist Team

From Sify

Armand Mijares of the University of the Philippines Diliman, and his colleagues insist the bone is definitely human, and they are provisionally calling it a lightly built modern human.

"The arrival of people in Australia 50,000 to 60,000 years ago is a good comparison," New Scientist quoted expedition member Florent Detroit of the National Museum for Natural History in Paris, France, as saying.

"It seems coherent for us to think that in; south-east Asia and Australia, humans had sea-faring capabilities by 60,000 to 70,000 years ago."
