Introduction
The presence of human populations on remote islands suggests that early cultures possessed maritime capabilities long before the dawn of recorded history. Recent studies into Neolithic and Paleolithic seaborne expansions analyze how these groups navigated the open ocean using wooden vessels and seasonal currents. This maritime technology enabled the rapid spread of materials and ideas across coastal regions worldwide.
