- ace2358 4y agoI understand how the theory of dna ancestry works, but it’s not so clear cut. We still don’t have a good understanding of how these things work over the time scales of Australia (60,000 years of inhabitation). Saying that one boat accidentally crashed and took over Australia culturally is technically possible but completely without evidence, “11%” or not.
