Aboriginal Genetics
For those who read this blog that are at all interested in genetics this may be interesting to you too.
It basically says that there is genetic evidence to support the evidence from dated aboriginal rock paintings showing that Australian Aboriginies have been around since around 40,000 years ago. For modern humans this is a long time ago. Neandertals were still around until about 30,000 years ago. And 40,000 years ago is also about the time of the Cro Magnons in Europe.
Ok, now I can go home!
