Sahul | Description & Facts | Britannica
Sahul was a landmass that connected Australia to New Guinea and Tasmania tens of thousands of years ago. A new study maps the most likely routes that early Australians used to cross it, based on topography, visibility, freshwater and demographics. The study reveals the super-highways of the initial peopling of Sahul and the similarity with Aboriginal and European trade routes.

Australia (continent) - Wikipedia
Sahul was a landmass that connected Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and the Aru Islands. New research reveals the routes and time of human migration across this ancient megacontinent, based on data from archaeology and ecology. The study suggests that humans first settled Sahul between 75,000 and 50,000 years ago, and that they spread across the continent in a gradual and uneven fashion.
Sahul: Ancient Pleistocene Continent of Australia - ThoughtCo
Sahul, paleocontinent made up of the present-day landmasses of Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea and the land bridges (which were composed of nearby emergent sea basins) that connected them during the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago).
Early human settlement of Sahul was not an accident
Scientists have used a digital elevation model and a movement simulation to map the most likely routes and pathways that First Australians used to cross Sahul, the landmass that connected Australia to New Guinea and Tasmania. The results show that early travellers navigated by prominent features, used freshwater sources, and followed trade routes and stock routes across the continent.
The Lost Continent of Sahul: Archaeologists Uncover ... - SciTechDaily
Our results suggest a colonization of southern Sahul (Australia) >37 kya, limited subsequent exchange, and a parallel incubation of initial settlers in northern Sahul (New Guinea) followed by westward migrations <28 kya. The temporal proximity and possible coincidence of these latter dispersals, which encompassed autochthonous haplogroups, with ...
'Super-highways' First Australians used to cross ancient land, mapped
SahulArch contains a total of 10,717 ages (9,504 radiocarbon, 973 OSL, and 240 TL) from 2,318 sites across the Sahul landmass. We describe the structure of SahulArch, types of auxiliary data collected, and provide a summary of the data in SahulArch.
Settling in Sahul: Investigating environmental and human history ...
Before the seas came in, Australia and New Guinea were once a single landmass - 'Sahul' . It was the home of giant lizards, of wombats the size of rhinos and of bizarre forms, entirely vanished today. This first part in our series on the Sahul extinctions explores the timeline of events - a tangled
