(I’d written about this in March 2015.) […]

She’s a retired doctor of Social Work and her work and concerns are similar to your, although her focus is First Peoples of the Americas. It is heart breaking to see that the Australian continues to practice – in essence – genocide on the original peoples of that continent. Your work is valuable.

Thanks for your comment Shery! Yes, this is truly remarkable, isn’t it? It shows how interconnected our oldest cultures are, and what a remarkable group our Indigenous population is in Australia. Such an ancient and profound connection to the land, as well as other knowledge we should be embracing in all sciences and humanities.

The study provides genetic evidence that Aboriginal Australians represent the oldest continuous culture on Earth”. Hmm, my very early relatives…It’s unfortunate that such information is not widely distributed (although it is not surprising). The more I learn, the more I become aware of how important knowledge of our history is, and how much of our history is unknown to us.
