DNA can prove descent, end of story.

Not necessarily.

The Human Genome Project was a major scientific development in human
genomics and biomedical sciences. Its findings suggested that all humans
are 99.9% genetically identical and only 0.1% of genetic variations are
responsible for the phenotypic differences, such as physical traits (height,
intelligence, hair, and eye colour), disease susceptibility, and drug responses,
among individuals in populations.

But 0.04% of the atmosphere definitely controls global climate.

Yeah, right.

That's what the Old Girl keeps telling them in online arguments.... and they all shut up... in quiet valley where used to live there were Almanacs from all the old families..... it seems average temperatures had not changed one whit for over a hundred years or so.... a little up and down, but that's about it. Cool

Looking back on Mungo Man – human remains millennia older than the pyramids – 50 years on - his discovery changed everything we knew about Indigenous Australians - for the better.

The Egyptians built the Pyramids around 5000 years ago.

The best the Aborigines could do in 40,000 years is a bark hut.

*SIGH* there is evidence that Indigenous Australians once lived in Stone Huts. The idea that they have been nomadic all their existence is old hat. The climate of Australia was once much wetter and supported Aquaculture and Agriculture. Please, acquaint yourself with modern Archeology, Baron. Your Racism is showing too clearly to be of much use. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

The only time they became sedentary was after colonisation .... and then they still went "walkabout".

You're so full shyte you should be processed at the Bolivar Sewage Treatment plant.

The notion that walkabout was an immense journey - a road trip if you will, has always been a myth.

Aboriginal tribes/clans moved around their territory depending on food source availability and climate.

The early settlers quickly realised that while local Aboriginals had an encyclopedic knowledge of their respective territory, once beyond it, they were not much more knowledgable than the settlers themselves, with guides often deferring to explorer-settlers' estimation of resource location.

This is true even today - remote-community Aboriginals outside their territory can get as lost as non-Aboriginals in remote areas and risk dehydration and death.

The only trouble with this though is that the continent was marked with pretty thorough 'tracks' much like highways and freeways right across the continent from top to bottom, from west to east and so on.
Blaxland, Wentworth & Lawson were smart enough at least to ask the Dharruk which way across the Blue Mountains and they just pointed to the right 'track'. The three of them later pompously promoted themselves to the Newspapers so to speak, that they 'themselves' had discovered the way across. It seems they too, take liberty with the truth as much as Pascoe.

Well we know DNA hasn't worked for you Brian.
You're like Darwin - so-called Expert on Evolution, while siring 'inbred' kids.

Aboriginal peoples were restricted by how far they could walk. and how feasible it was to walk. They also did not encroach on land that wasn't part of their territory unless they knew the tribe occupying it.

What would be the point of walking hundreds of kilometres, risking death? What use would a walk like that be to their tribe/clan?

Something is amiss or missed here.

Each tribe had their tracks around their territory.

They didn't form an intracontinental network.

They didn't even speak the same languages had different customs and, for the most part, would have no opportunity to learn who the other tribes were hundreds/thousands of kilometres from their respective terrorities.

The same was true of the native American tribes - restricted by how far they could walk, until they were introduced to the horse.

I'll get back to you on that one as I've seen otherwise.
I have to watch something else first.
Then I'll find the links proving that there was inter-continental (good way of putting it) tracks which coincided with 'Songlines' that traversed across the continent.
Stay tuned.

That's just Pascoesque bs.

The Dharruk were locals for Blaxland, Wentworth & Lawson.

They didn't take them any further than their range and only as far as Bathurst. Only about 115klm.
