42 kya: Earliest evidence of advanced deep sea fishing technology at the Jerimalai cave site in East Timor-demonstrates high-level maritime skills and by implication the technology needed to make ocean crossings to reach Australia and other islands, as they were catching and consuming large numbers of big deep sea fish such as tuna.42 kya: Paleolithic flutes in Germany.

Although many effects upon life on Earth and human evolution from the increase in cosmic rays have been tentatively proposed, the effects are not considered to have been strong enough (further refuted by paleoecological evidence) to have significantly affected natural or human history.
