Australia was settled first, with evidence of human habitation dating back at least 65,000 years. Following this, the three subgroups of Pacific Islands—Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia—were settled in a sequence that began with Melanesia around 3,500 years ago, followed by Polynesia and Micronesia. Polynesians, known for their long-distance voyaging, expanded across the central and eastern Pacific islands, while Micronesians settled the islands to the north.

The Pacific islands were first settled by the Austronesian-speaking peoples, who originated from Southeast Asia around 3,500 years ago.
