Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial settlement of Australia occurred around 60,000 years ago, but the spread of humans throughout the country occurred over a much longer period of time. The majority of evidence suggests that people spread along the coastlines first, utilizing marine resources and then later moving into the interior. As they moved inland, they followed rivers and other sources of water. There is little evidence to suggest that people were following kangaroo herds or sources of obsidian.
