The artefacts—discovered under a corn field on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi—suggest that ancient humans may have inhabited the region 800,000 years earlier than previously known.

But, according to the study’s co-author Professor Adam Brumm, how these ancient humans even got to Sulawesi remains a mystery.

Professor Brumm told Yahoo News Australia, “I think it’s more likely that [they got there by] some freak geological event, involving hominoids being washed out to sea by a tsunami from mainland Asia, and clinging to floating trees. “Other species, including rats, monkeys, and even early elephants, have also conquered new islands by sea.”

While the stone tools themselves couldn’t be directly dated, researchers were able to calculate that the age of the sediments and pig fossil that surrounded the tools were between 1.04 and 1.48 million years old.
