Stop posting nonsense mate. It might get you lot all excited but it 's nothing but propaganda.
You may have heard this myth before that there was a race of pygmy people who had been on the land that is now called Australia, who were here for several millennia before Aboriginal people, only to have their land stolen and be completely wiped out by Aboriginal people. There is a problem with this story, namely that there is no evidence from the archaeological and biological records that a pygmy population ever existed in Australia or any people prior to Aboriginal people (1). So then why does this myth exist and persist?The myth is said to come from an outdated theory stemming from the 1930s where a handful of anthropologists said that there were three separate migrations of people onto the Australian continent, with each one eradicating the other, before European people came. Later, some researchers changed the theory and stated that there were two migrations instead of three. More recently, researchers have checked the earlier work and declared that there is only one source population of all known skeletal remains in Australia prior to invasion, and it is Aboriginal people
