Cave art discovery suggests humans arrived in Ireland from Wales 15,000 years ago
An ancient cave art discovery suggests the first known humans arrived in Ireland from Wales at least 15,000 years ago. Dr George Nash, a rock expert, led an international team who found eight cave sites in south-west Ireland with the art. The discovery pushes back the earliest evidence of humans in Ireland by about 5,000 years, due to a past land bridge.
