I read a while back about some research that concluded that Australia was
populated by humans before Europe. They came out of Africa into Asia and
into Australia about 60,000 years ago, as I recall. Europe had to wait until
climatic conditions permitted a crossing of the Mediterranean. They probably
walked across. Interesting stuff. /jmac

Proof at last. I will be filing a joint Native Title claim on behalf of
the Wurrundjerri and Yorta Yorta peoples immediately. We suggest that
all present merkins drop the flag and pack your bags and get back to
Europe, Africa or Siberia immediately - or wherever. Avoid the rush.
Except Walt of course - hey Walt, wanna be Consul?

America
may in fact have come from what is now known as Australia.
