Where Was the Last Place Discovered on Earth? Actually, most of the -first landings on the islands mentioned in The Age of Exploration and Discovery part of the video, allegedly done by the English, French and Dutch, are inaccurate, since they were predated by one or two centuries by the Iberians (Spanish and Portuguese, the true pioneers of global exploration. For instance, the fact that Bonin was the only place where the Spanish landed the first is not correct, since they had also landed on the island of Bermuda, uninhabited at the time, as early as 1505 by an expedition headed by Juan de Bermudez, who gave the island its present-day name, way before the English had arrived in 1609, as contrary to popular belief. In addition, the Spanish were also the first humans to land on the Galapagos Islands in 1535, and several other archipelagoes in Polynesia which are now part of Chile. It is also very possible that they may have landed on the Falkland islands in the 16th century, much earlier than the English John Strong in 1690. The island of Mauritius, on the other hand, was first landed by the Portuguese Diogo Fernandes Pereira as early as 1507, much earlier than the Dutch in 1638. Reunion too, by the Portuguese in the 16th century as well, before the better known French expedition of 1642. Tristan da Cunha was also discovered by the Portuguese in 1506 before the Dutch arrival in 1643, giving the island its present-day name. Also, the Portuguese, headed by Diogo Rodrigues, landed in Rodrigues island in 1528 before the French in 1691, also gving theisland its present-day name. Ile St. Paul was first landed by the Portuguese in 1559, and Ile Amsterdam by Juan Sebastian Elcano in 1522 while on his circumnavigation of the globe. These two landings obviously predate the Dutch one of 1696. Ascension was first landedin by the Portuguese Joao de Nova in 1501 before the English in 1701, two centuries earlier. Vasco da Gama, the great Portuguese explorer, discovered the Seychelles in 1503, way before the French landing of 1770.

While this is entertaining and relatively informative. Relative to CURRENT fossil discoveries and interpretations. It seems all but certain the accuracy of this will be laughable in 20 - 50 yrs. Remember less than 70 yrs ago the concept of continental drift was NOT accepted by the scientific community. That despite it was based on geology, as opposed to simply discovery of human presence which is based on deductive logic, which by its nature is not neccesarily absolute. Just sayin'. we don't know what we dont know. Please understand this is meant not as a destructive criticism rather as a reminder that it cannot be the definiitive story of human discovery. Only the current anthropologic consensus. Remember as little as a 1-2 thousand yrs ago consensus insisted a flat earth. CONSENSUS not everyone and NOT accurate

Science is continually evolving and making itself better over the time, the journey of humanity discovering different landscape on earth can be predicted by the fossils and ancient structures our ancestors left behind but please note that we may stumble upon something that un folds some new mind-blowing secrets we couldn't even imagine -

You can say that James Cook discovered Antartica even he did not sight it (turned around just about 100 miles from the continent. When he observed a very large number of huge icebergs everywhere around the Antarctic Circle, he made the correct conclusion that all these icebergs can be produced only on a very big landmass around the South pole.

Bro in India we have bhimbetka rock shelters and the paintings there are older then 50, 000 years ago. many scientists have carbon dates the the ink used in making those paintings (by ink I typically mean either blood or coloured clay) and the have found evidence the some of the shelters were inhabited more than 100, 000 years ago.

Kind of a copout here, but in Iceland, there's an island called Surtsey that only first formed in 1963, and was an active volcano until 1967. It's not allowed to go there, as it's being used as an experiment for how life naturally migrates to new lands, but it has been visited by scientists (with strict sterilization procedures.

Disagree, if Neandertals were a human species, then they are humans so Europe and many parts of the world were already populated by humans. Also Homo Spiens mixed with these other human families like the Neandertals, for example, if you have alergies then you have Neandertal DNA in you.

James Cook had the same fate as Ferdinand Magellan. Cook has a monument at Kealakekua Bay, on the island of Hawaii which memorializes his second place finish in combat against the Hawaiian islanders.

There's a lot of use of the word -discovery- that should really be replaced by -the earliest fossil record we have of- because I sincerely doubt humans landed on Taiwan before reaching mainland China.
reply

first humans ever existed around 6000 bc.
Oh and one question: How do you know this stuff? We all know you're just guessing cuz nobody can know this stuff and it doesn't make any sense.
reply

Its funny cause u atribbute a lot of Islands discoveries to France and England that were actually discovered by spanish sailors 150 years before (like the Amsterdam Island, for example)
reply

it says Spain discovers one little island southern japan. maannn come on. 300 years sailing and ruling the world. but somehow everything was discovered later by the british. hahaha
reply

How did the humans reach Australia and all the other islands without any boat or did they craft one, like minecraft? And why did they reach Australia before Europe? !
reply

I HATE captain James cook, calling my home county terra nulius (land belonging to no one, why can-t he just be nicer to the Australian indigenous
reply

Technically, humans have discovered new islands incredibly recently. Specifically, undersea volcanos breaching the surface for the first time.
reply

wow I always wondered why the british held the falklands, I assumed they just stole it for tactical reasons but this cleared it up haha
reply

Be human
Literally skip Fr-nce and In-onesia
Proceed to go to UK and Australia before them
Leave
Refuse to elaborate further

Imagine Neanderthals waiting for Yelp reviews on their caves while we're out here discovering entire continents. Who's laughing now?
reply

Now in 2023, the last discovered place on Earth is an island called Qeqertaq Avannarleq in the Arctic Sea discovered in August 2021.
reply

i feel like antarctica should have been split by region, i don't know if there is enough information for that though
reply

we finished the main story now we need to do the previous missions for the part 2, exploring the universe
