Katie, if you feel out of an Aboriginal woman's vagina three hundred years ago, do you think that you would be personally able to figure out how to build a fence or develop the economic practices of agriculture that underpinned Western civilisation?
I'd be too busy chasing dinner with a stick.
Like what?
Yup, "firestick farming".
No dice, dingo's can be domesticated (as with most wild animals) if socialised from birth. The Aboriginals routinely stole pups from dens and socialised them into domesticated animals. Hybrids are much the same, cannot be domesticated fully unless socialised from birth.Dingoes? Well, not really. They're almost as wild as wolves are, and it took thousands of years to domesticate them. Hybrids can be domesticated, depending on the generation, but pures? Not really.
Horses: held.
Nor are most Aboriginal Australians pure blood.
Tch, that doesn't count as domestication, however. You can do the same with, say, a cheetah cub with much the same result (actually cheetahs are ideal candidates) - they can be tamed, but that isn't the same as domestication.
Your point
?
We're discussing the merits of diet in brain development. They had a diet rich in protein and red meat, which was often a better diet than those in more developed countries had access to.
Well, well. It's quite contradictory out there on the internets, I've been reading that as hunters they were quite poor, and that the Aboriginals would follow them to find wounded animals (apparently because they were scavengers or something, idk).
They probably do scavenge, but they don't rely on it. They're efficient predators, and they're extremely important in controlling the kangaroo population west of the dingo fence (and farmers are starting to regret that fence as the roos eat the crops east of it) as well as feral foxes and cats.
I just put that down to throw shit up. Native Americans are nothing like the Aboriginies. Native Americans had a far more complex social system than the Aboriginals and they had worked out methods of farming buffalo and other critters without harming the environment like Aboriginies cry about. And also you must remember, people say Obama is the first Black president but he is only 1/2 so he does not count as a black president by your standards? And no, he wasn't president but not far off. There have been few Aboriginies even in parliament, let alone in a position of real power.
