Ancient stone tools from an archaeological site on Sulawesi have pushed back the date of the earliest human occupation of the Indonesian island to at least 118,000 years ago. It is known that various hominin species had made it to the islands of Flores, Java, and Papua by this time. It was assumed that Sulawsi was part of their spread. The new find, which was likely accumulated over tens of thousands of years, suggests Sulawesi had a well-established population. Since no human fossils were found, it is unknown what specific human species had made Sulawesi home so early.
