Reenacting a 30,000-Year-Old Voyage to Japan

Five brave men traveled the sea like their ancestors probably did some 30,000 years ago. They paddled their way from Taiwan to Japan on a dugout canoe and arrived Tuesday on Yonaguni Island, in Okinawa. They didn’t use a map or a compass, and determined their location by looking at the stars and the sun. The 200-km journey took about 45 hours.
