In 40,000 years a lot has changed in the whole world.

Because nobody knows who was here before the indigenous Australians, they can claim ancestors through their Dreaming time stories.

The whole world was once just one continent, until natural disasters split it into pieces millions of years ago. Even today we know that the plates are shifting and Australia is moving north.

Who knows what scientists and archaeologists will discover and interpetrate in another 40.000 years?

Before Captain Cook, other nations used to visit Australia and trade with the native people, but nobody thought of invading the country and taking it forcefully.

But this is another story.

Let the native people have their Dreaming Time and a past to hang on to. Science has not always been right.
