First Aboriginal peoples arrived in Tasmania about 41,600 years ago roughly 2,000 years earlier than previously thought.

They used controlled burning to transform dense forests into more navigable and habitable landscapes.

This marked one of humanity’s earliest and most distant migrations from Africa into the Southern Hemisphere .

The research was supported by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage and received in-country support from the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre . The researchers declared no competing interests. The study was conducted with permission from Aboriginal communities and various Tasmanian government agencies..
