Wait wait wait, sorry, I just got hung up on the earliest boats being a million years old. That’s certainly an error somewhere, human beings as a species are only roughly 250,000 years old and most ancient man-made relics are ~~ 45,000 years.
Where the heck did you see something about a million year old boat?
EDIT – I stand corrected and need to reexamine my unconscious biases – turns out our distant ancestor Homo Erectus was possibly using boats to cruise the gaps between islands in Indonesia 750,000-900,000 years ago.
