Neanderthals or other extinct human lineages may have sailed to the Mediterranean Islands long before previously thought. Here, an excavation at Akrotiri Aetokremnos, a site in Cyprus dating back to about 10,000 B.C. where pygmy hippo fossils were found. CREDIT: Alan Simmons.

I’ve long believed that rafts or boats of some sort were our earliest technology after stone tools.

It just doesn’t take a huge leap of intelligence to figure out that you can float on some logs. Intentional directed water travel takes a much higher level of intelligence but we are unsure of when that started as well.

No. But, the Nephilim probably did.
