>Latest evidence is showing that 'modern' Australian Aboriginals are only 4,000 years old: In your gleeful rush to discount humanities oldest extant civilisation, you seem to have made the fatal association: human language = human being The original land owners have been on the Australian continent for 60,000+ years, and they have maintained oral traditions that are over 40,000 years. No amount of blathering from racists is going to change that fact: its a matter of geological record.
