  • The first humans to reach Australia didn't sit still for long. New evidence suggests they quickly migrated into its hot, dry interior, and developed tools to adapt to the tough environment and exploit its giant beasts. Previous archaeological work has shown that the earliest Australians spread rapidly around the coast after arriving in the north by boat about 50,000 years ago. Within around 2000 years, they had moved all the way to the country's south-west tip.
