To reach the Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific, humans crossed more than 2,000 kilometers of open ocean, and around 2,000 years earlier than any other sea travel over an equally long distance. They settled in the Marianas around 3,500 years ago, slightly earlier than the initial settlement of Polynesia.

Non-Marine Mass Extinctions Occur with Periodicity of 27.5 Million Years: Study 0
- Ancient Archeology, From Around the Web
- December 18, 2020
Non-marine animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) have apparently experienced at least 10 distinct episodes of intensified extinctions over the past 300 million years. Eight of these extinction events are concurrent with known marine mass extinctions, which previously yielded evidence for an underlying period of 26.4 to 27.3 million years ago. In new research, a team of scientists from New York University and Carnegie Institution for Science performed an analysis of the ten recognized non-marine mass extinctions and detected a statistically significant underlying periodicity of 27.5 million years; they also found that these mass extinctions align with major asteroid impacts and devastating volcanic outpourings of lava called flood-basalt eruptions.
