Long ago, ancient mariners successfully navigated a perilous ocean journey to arrive at Japan's Ryukyu Islands, a new study suggests. Archaeological sites on six of these isles — part of a 1,200-kilometer-long chain — indicate that migrations to the islands 35,000 to 30,000 years ago, both from the south via Taiwan and from the north via the Japanese island of Kyushu. But whether ancient humans navigated there on purpose or there by accident on the Kuroshio ocean current, one of the world's light on the proficiency of these Stone Age humans as mariners and their mental largest and strongest currents, is unclear. The answer to that question could capabilities overall. Now, satellite-tracked buoys that a wayward raft suggest that there's little chance that the seafarers reached the isles by accident.
