Whether as old as civilization in Sulawesi? There's not much to review about life on the island since pre-history, while attention has focused on early human life in Java. But of trace linguistic patterns of the arrival of humans and spreading in Sulawesi (especially Sulawesi) can be mapped.
Data obtained radiocarbon archaeologists in pre-historic relics in Maros indicate that modern humans first inhabited the region of South Sulawesi in 30,000 BC. No evidence older than the invention in Maros, so scientists while the opinion on the future of human migration into the Sulawesi.
Sulawesi did not experience early human life, as well as fossil discoveries indicate Java has been inhabited since 1.5 million years BC. While, there is no direct evidence that showed the ancient human heritage in Sulawesi, so this reinforces the theory that human migration in Sulawesi comes from another continent.
Simulation Peter Bellwood, Professor of Archaeology of Australia, in his book "Southeast Asia From Prehistory to History" (2004) shows that the life of modern man in Sulawesi comes from the inclusion of the Austronesian-speaking cultivators. The origin of the "settlers", based on radiocarbon record in Maros, is from the island of Borneo.
Bellwood studying migration simulation is based on the development of language brought. Migrants are up to Sulawesi, according to Bellwood, took root Malay-Polynesian (Malayo-Polynesian Proto / PMP). The language they brought an early form of language in South Sulawesi.
These immigrants originally made the colony downstream Sa'dan who then move to the inside, to the mountainous region, and developed into eight groups are isolated from each other. It affects the incidence of eight languages in South Sulawesi.
Evidence of this attachment among others, the linguistic relations between ethnic groups in Sulawesi. For example between Bugis and Toraja today, which indicates a closer relationship in the past.
One of the groups most developed geographically is Bugis group. The initial Bugis who inhabit the lake area of Tempe and Sidenreng cycle began to migrate and occupy other areas after they find resources and minerals that can be traded with other nations, especially China. Some began to leave the mountainous region and settled in coastal areas.
From here Bugis continue to develop into several groups and kingdoms which determines the modern history of South Sulawesi.
