Quantum. The sands of dreamtime
Description
In September 1996 claims that Aborigines had been living in far north western Australia 116,000 years ago made international headlines, partly because it was double the accepted age of the earliest occupation of Australia. If the controversial dates are correct, there are major implications for understanding how humans first reached the continent. Examination of the developments in dating techniques over the past century that led to the discovery, has also provided new perspectives on the Aborigine's link with the landscape.
