One of the major early human migrations was the maritime Austronesian expansion into the islands of the Indo-Pacific, believed to have begun between at least 5500 and 4000 BP. These migrations were accompanied by a set of domesticated, semi-domesticated, and commensal plants and animals transported via outrigger ships and catamarans that enabled the early Austronesian peoples to thrive in the islands of Maritime Southeast Asia, Near Oceania and Remote Oceania, Madagascar, and the Comoro Islands.
