An ancient cave art discovery indicates that the first known humans in Ireland may have walked across a land bridge from Wales. Researchers believe this land connection existed between the two regions during the most recent Ice Age.

The findings provide new insights into the migration patterns of early human populations in the region, suggesting that the initial arrival of humans in Ireland occurred via a terrestrial route rather than by sea.
