Peter Bellwood

Peter Bellwood is an esteemed archaeologist at the Australian National University, known for his research on the origins and dispersal of agricultural societies in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. His work has significantly contributed to our understanding of ancient human migrations, particularly the settlement of islands in the Pacific. Recently, he commented on a research team's findings that demonstrated how Jomon culture people might have successfully navigated from Taiwan to the Ryukyu Islands using ancient canoes, asserting that these findings provide vital answers to longstanding questions about human migration in this region.
