Accepting History and Creating the Future.Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for precolonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing - behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.Aboriginal AustraliansAntiquitiesAboriginal AustraliansSocial life and customsAboriginal AustraliansAgricultureLand use, RuralAustraliaHunting and gathering societiesAustraliaAboriginal AustraliansAntiquities.Aboriginal AustraliansSocial life and customs.Aboriginal AustraliansAgriculture.Land use, RuralHunting and gathering societies305.89915Pascoe Bruce1947-1043340MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792276603321Dark emu3820588UNINA
