The Aborigines in Australia arrived there 40,000 years ago — and it had to be by watercraft as there was no way to travel there otherwise.
Just understanding some basic facts about past geologic history, say the last 250,000 years, there is much we just don’t know about early humans.

Crete has been separated from the mainland for about five million years, so whoever made the tools must have traveled there by sea ... Or by UFO??? :O

I have always been fascinated by how so many isolated islands were settled so long ago.
I was recently reading about St. Kilda in the Hebrides. It is extremely isolated and people could only approach and land during the Summer, yet it was occupied for 3000 years before being abandoned during the late 1920’s.
Also Crete is particularly interesting as it seems to be one of the earliest civilizations anywhere ever yet is also isolated.

Are they still under warranty? Craftsman would be.

...so whoever made the tools must have traveled there by sea (a distance of at least 40 miles). That would upset the current view that human ancestors migrated to Europe from Africa by land alone. That's a little leap of deductive reasoning isn't it? A 40 mile crossing isn't quite the equivalent of navigating the high seas. How do they get from that to believing they crossed the Mediterranean from Africa? Maybe they did but those are two different levels of risk and accomplishment.

Those damm sailors, you can’t keep them away. Maybe some of them made it to North America also. A small boat can go a long way.
