The new findings show that Native Americans may have visited the islands sometimes between 1275 and 1420. Also earlier visits may have occurred.  The findings also raise the question if the so called Warrah  (Dusicyon australis) , a kind of now extinct fox, endemic to the islands, can have been brought there by humans.

The warrah’s origins have been debated, and prehistoric human transport was previously rejected because of a lack of evidence of pre-European human activity in the Falkland Islands. We report several lines of evidence indicating that humans w...
