Archaeology: Lake Mungo fossils

[edit]

This section needs many more citations. Also, the most popular model at this point is that only one wave of migration occurred into Australia, even though there are some problems with it.[1] The claim of multiple migrations, first, needs to be cited, and second, needs to be presented alongside the other models rather than posed as the only model.

42,000 Years ago is plausible, not 50,000 or 60,000.

[edit]

The remains found at lake Mungo does coincides with the rapid Extinction rate of Australian megafauna at around this time of 42,000 years ago and points to must likely a hunting to extinction like with the mammoth in north Asia and North America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo1un (talk • contribs) 10:06, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating. But what reliable source states this? Otherwise its just an opinion and more suited to a personal blog. Nickm57 (talk) 10:12, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What you personally think is irrelevant. So is what I think. Wikipedia depends on what is found in reliable sources. Human remains are not the only evidence that tells us of human presence. Tools, and ash in fireplaces, can be dated, and has been, to much further ago than 42,000 years. HiLo48 (talk) 10:15, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What on earth is that mess? HiLo48 (talk) 11:02, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]


What you asked for? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo1un (talk • contribs) 11:24, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK. It's clear you haven't yet fully grasped how we do things here. What you have written up above is almost incomprehensible. That's not entirely surprising, because it can be complicated making stuff look good here. Have a really good read of WP:RS. Don't just skim it. Follow the links. It takes a while to become good at it. I will add that you seem to be wanting to write something about the Aboriginal people maybe eliminating the mega-fauna. That's certainly a possibility, and has been written about by several well accredited people, but this article is called Lake Mungo. It's probably the wrong place to try to make that point. HiLo48 (talk) 11:26, 23 June 2018
I'm Just trying to add what should be taken in to account and exist at those time frames like Australian megafauna on the decline and I could ad more like homo erectus still being around in Indonesia 55,000 years ago, the ice age, toba volcano erubtion 69,000-77,000 years ago. all effect our pass humans.
I repeat, this article is about Lake Mungo. You have gone way off-topic. Maybe you might find Australian megafauna more useful for your argument. HiLo48 (talk) 11:48, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Lake mungo has the oldest homo sapiens remains found on Australia! It's apart of the topic! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo1un (talk • contribs) 11:58, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
