Reduced sea levels, caused by water evaporating from the oceans and being locked up on the continents in the form of ice. Many areas of previously shallow seas were now dry land.
During the Ice Age, lower sea levels exposed land bridges connecting continents such as the Bering Land Bridge between North America and Asia. This allowed humans and other animals to migrate across continents.
Early humans were able to travel from one continent to another by using land bridges that connected continents during periods of lower sea levels, such as the Bering Land Bridge that allowed migration from Asia to North America. They may have also used primitive watercraft to cross short stretches of water.
Antarctica is considered the last continent to be discovered by humans. The first confirmed sighting of the continent occurred in 1820.
Antarctica is the only continent where humans do not permanently inhabit. While some research stations exist on the continent, they are mostly occupied by scientists for short durations.
The Bering Land Bridge connected Asia and North America during the Ice Age. This land bridge emerged when sea levels were lower, allowing humans and animals to migrate between the two continents.
The last continent that humans reached was Antarctica. It was not discovered until the early 19th century, although there is evidence suggesting that some ancient civilizations may have visited the continent thousands of years ago.

To go from one continent to another, humans had to travel by foot or by horse. Unless, of course, there was water in between. The invention of ships made it possible to go between continents.

Feet and/or boats. Land bridges created by lowered sea levels during the last period of glaciation also helped mobility between continents.
During the Ice Age, lower sea levels created land bridges between continents, like the Bering Land Bridge between Asia and North America. This allowed early humans to migrate to new continents in search of food and resources.
Humans travel to and from the Antarctic continent when it is accessible either by ship or by airplane. During the winter season -- when the sun isn't shining, the continent is not accessible.
Early humans migrated from one region to another primarily to find new sources of food, follow animal migrations, or escape harsh environmental conditions. They also migrated to seek better living opportunities or in response to social or cultural pressures within their own communities.
No. Humans have never lived in Antarctica; it's too cold.
