Ancient Explorers Sailed to Australia 60,000 Years Ago!

People figured out how to travel across the ocean and reach Australia way, way back—even before we thought they could! By studying the DNA [the special instructions inside our bodies that we inherit from our parents] of people today, scientists discovered that our ancestors were amazing sailors who found their way to new lands using different ocean routes. It's wild to think that people were exploring the world with boats when woolly mammoths still roamed the Earth!
