South America.
The last continent to be inhabited was Antarctica.
Early human migration reached South America last. The most widely accepted theory was that human life originated in Africa and spread to the continents of Europe and Asia, as it was easy to access due to the continents being connected. During the Ice Ages, land bridges began to form which connected Asia to both North America and Australia. People then migrated to these continents because of land access. Since South America is farthest from any land bridge, it is most likely that South America was the last continent to be populated by humans that is currently populated by humans. In reality, Antarctica has yet to be populated by humans due to the extreme weather.
