Answer (Choose 1 answer)
Consider the following argument:
The Artape people have lived on the island of Staples for between 20,000 and 31,000 years. A number of archaeological sites have been radiocarbon dated to around 20,000 BC. They are thought to have migrated across from Africa on land bridges that existed before the last ice age. Movement between the main land and Staples across these land bridges was quite common. Archaeological evidence, such as oral stories, rock pictures and some ancient fossils, suggests that the Staler people, the ancestors of the Artape, used the island for hunting from as far back as 31,000 BC. However, there is no evidence of settlement or continuous habitation of the island until around 25,000 BC, when evidence of temporary camps starts. It is not until 20,000 BC that we start to see evidence of permanent dwellings. All migration from the main land to Stapes stopped when the seas rose around 12,000 years ago. *
