#2 The world is not what it seems. It’s a home that is more lived in than any other that I can imagine. Countless generations have absorbed and built upon knowledge of food sources and navigation.

#3 Modern humans, according to the out of Africa hypothesis, evolved from a population of people in Africa around 100,000 years ago. They began migrating to the rest of the world around 100,000 years ago and then began adapting in small ways to their own particular environmental conditions.

#4 The first Europeans to arrive in Australia were amazed by its original inhabitants, the Aboriginals, who had no agriculture or houses. They were considered to be primitive, a fossilized stage in human evolution, and their days were numbered.
