It’s pretty clear that humans primarily caused the extinction of the megafauna, just as they did in the Americas.
“Many Aboriginal people say they’ve been on this land since the beginning of time.”
“Science tells us that the landscape people call home at this time looked very different from today.”
Is the abc going with the mythological worldview or the scientific worldview, because one contradicts the other…
The amount of propaganda the average Australian is served about indigenous culture is extremely telling. Basically there are a bunch of academics that look down on aboriginals for not having pyramids, agriculture and writing, so they just make up a bunch of crap about their achievements.
I’d like to think keeping the flame of human civilization alight on one of the harshest continents on earth for 50+ millennia is an achievement, but they need to invent new garbage every year.
