Humans have a long history of exploration, first leaving Africa around 80,000-70,000 years ago on foot into Asia and later by boat to Australia. Over time, new technologies like sailing ships and airplanes allowed exploration of more distant lands by sea and air, enabling world exploration and international cooperation. Some explorers reached the frigid poles in the early 1900s using dog sleds. Future exploration may see humans living in space.
