No, no, you open the lock with the hair pin. I saw that in a movie so it must be true.

They have such a distinct look that it’s easy to believe they were an isolated population.

Mungo Man

Lake Mungo is a dry lake in south-western New South Wales, Australia. Many important archaeological findings have been made at the lake, most significantly the discovery of the remains of Mungo Man, the oldest human remains found in Australia, and Mungo Lady, the oldest human remains in the world to be ritually cremated.

Painting of life at Lake Mungo by Giovanni Caselli. Note the fish traps, the wide variety of food hunted and collected, and the gunyahs or dwellings.

Which of the figures in the picture is Mungo Jerry?

Did the Aborigines bring the dingo with them when they first got to Australia, or did the dingoes come later?

We just recently had a thread about that and I can't find it.

I think later...not 70,000 years ago.

I’m sorry, but this is like wow kinda resarch. I never thought growing up that we would ever know the origins of man, where we came from, so this is amazing.

What did I miss? A year or two ago there was this loud voice saying Neanderthals didn’t breed with humans. Now they’re finding Neanderthal DNA in humans?

I don’t remember that thread but I would guess it was later—I don’t think there is evidence for domestication of dogs that early.

Lol, I don’t know when the boomerang was invented, but I think it wasn’t until they got to Australia, otherwise other Negroid Asiatics would use it too, wouldn’t they?

The real secret weapons were probably spear throwers and reed boats.
