The Mungo Man was discovered by geologist Jim Bowler in New South Wales, in 1974. The Mungo Man’s bones proved to be the oldest remains of any indigenous Australian in the country. Archeologists dated them at 40,000 years old, and they immediately changed the history of Australia.
These bones are still the oldest Homo sapiens remains ever found on the continent of Australia. This was a shocking revelation in the 1970s because it proved definitively that the Indigenous peoples, the native Australian groups, were the first to live on the land.
