    "THEY ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS Where is the proof?"


    If modern Aborigines want to recognise the "original inhabitants of this country", then release the remains of Lake Mungo for further scientific testing.  Then we can find out EXACTLY who the original inhabitants were!  The scientific community awaits the outcome too.

    The LM1 and LM3 remains were found decades ago and are believed to be between 40,000 and 68,000 years old.  Initial  DNA testing strongly suggested (at least) one of these individuals was not linked to modern Aboriginals.  Physically, both individuals were of a gracile form, unlike most modern Aborigines.  Further in-depth testing was forbidden and then guess which minority reclaimed (kidnapped?) the remains and won't allow ANY further DNA testing or scientific access to the remains?


    From wikipedia:

    "Comparison of the mitochondrial DNA with that of ancient and modern Aborigines has indicated that Mungo Man is not related to Australian Aborigines. The results indicated that Mungo Man was an extinct subspecies that diverged before the most recent common ancestor of contemporary humans. These results, if correct, may support the multiregional origin of modern humans hypothesis.[22][23]"
