Current scientific research suggests that skulls from early Americans, pre-8000 BC, are of a completely different type to those that came after. It seems that these early peoples were Australoid in origin. So how did Australian Aborigines end up in the New World? Ancient Voices explores Stone Age archaeological sites in the Americas, East Asia and Australasia to compare the cultures of Australoid peoples, and investigates their seafaring abilities, why they set out on such a long voyage and why they eventually perished.
