Tell me about the history of Australian Aborigines. What they

That dude looks fucking spooky.

huffing petrol and tricking the gods into getting welfare

Chilling out with stone tools and making stick-tap mumble music I guess.

Inventing the stick

>>2505570
You do realize that there are a lot of different aboriginal Australians, right?
Or do you only know about /pol/ memes, which will inevitably ruin this thread and already have

>>2505570
Who the fuck knows? They weren't sophisticated enough to keep any sort of records.

Farming eels, making bread out of nuts, trading with Indonesians, painting, making maps using songs and dances, etc.

I know more than most about Abos but still not a lot in the grand scheme of things. You'd be better consulting literature than anyone on /his/ I'd say.

was the huffing of oil or distilled/fermented liquids already common among them ?

The thing about invention and technological advancement in general is that society develops according to need, not to want.

Remember that all things considered Australia has pretty funky wildlife compared to the rest of the world. There isn't really anything on the continent that would've been easier to hunt with a bow and arrow than a boomerang or a spear and woomera.

ew...
why do you always post using that picture and name.

>>2505709
How is a roo, wombat or bird not easier to hit with a bow and arrow than a memerang?

>wombats
Slow moving and large, easy to hit one with a thrown spear.
