The Beginning of the Pacific

It has always been a debate when it comes to the exact date of human arrival around the world. When it comes to the coastlines and islands of the pacific, data and information from the past has often been misinterpreted and the unknown history of the pacific is still being explored today. If continued progress is made regarding the history of Pacific it could possibly reveal unknown history about mankind.

Just how early seafaring actually began is still a question. However, what is interesting is the ability of humans to adapt to the environment and expand throughout the world at such a early stage of life. "This human ability to innovate during periods of heightened environmental stress is one of the hallmark characteristics of our specie..."

Our most current data supports a spread of cultures that adapted to the pacific shortly after the pleistocene period. Currently we use radiocarbon dating techniques to identify historical sites. Although radiocarbon dating is a technique developed over half a century ago it still seems to be are best resource for identifying just how old archaeological sites really are.
