Hunter-gatherer societies have been documented on every continent except Antarctica. They successfully adapted to various environments, from the Arctic to the jungles of South America, and played a key role in shaping the history and development of human societies.

What continents did the early people reach?

Early people reached and populated all continents except Antarctica. This migration occurred over thousands of years, with evidence of early human presence found in Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.


What Last continents last to be inhabited by early man?

The Americas and remote islands like New Zealand and Australia were some of the last continents to be inhabited by early man. These places were more isolated and required longer sea voyages to reach, which may have contributed to the delayed settlement compared to other regions.


Which two continents did homo sapiens spread to more quickly?

Homo Sapiens originate from Africa, Europe, and Asia. They spread to Australia and then North America during the Ice Age. This was due to land bridges being formed during this time period. South America was only connected to North America, so to reach this continent the Homo Sapiens had to first pass through North America (which is what they did).


Did humans live on all continents except Antarctica by 9000 BC?

Yes, evidence suggests that by 9000 BC humans had already settled on all continents except Antarctica. Archaeological findings show human presence in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa dating back to that time period.


How did humans populate the Earth's continents?

Humanity apparently started in Africa and spread to the connected continent of Asia, then to the connected continent of Europe. When humans began getting more and more intelligent, they developed means of transportation, one of the earliest being boats. Humans then sailed to islands around the continents. The last three continents to be populated by humans were Australia, North America, and South America in that order. Humans arrived to these continents from Afro-Eurasia by either ship or walking. A land bridge between Asia and North America formed, making migration to the Americas possible. However, people arrived in Australia and Polynesia before this. The only possible way was by boat.
