TL;DR: Two least-cost pathway models of human dispersal from Sunda to Sahul at 65 ka and 70 ka are constructed by extending previous out-of-Africa least- cost models through the digitization of these routes and suggest Misool Island as the initial landing site for early modern humans on Sahul.

TL;DR: The archeological evidence for early modern humans in Wallacea is still a work in progress, and none of it pre-dates the archeological record from Sahul as mentioned in this paper, and selecting the most likely model for first landfall in Sahul using current archeological evidences has proven difficult, if not impossible.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on human behavioural adaptations within the context of Pleistocene environments and changing landscapes using zooarchaeological, stone artefact, bathymetric, and experimental isotopic analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present five reconstructions for the periods 65, 60, 55, 50, and 45,000 years ago, using the latest bathometric chart and a sea-level model that is adjusted to account for the average uplift rate known from Wallacea.

TL;DR: The first total evidence phylogenetic analyses of the order Dasyuromorphia are presented, based on combined morphological and molecular data, to resolve relationships and calculate divergence dates, which provide a phylogenetic and temporal framework for interpreting the evolution of modern and fossil dasyuromorphians.
