The oldest Indigenous human remains on the Australian continent was found in 1974 by geologist Bowlerin the Willandra Lakes region of New South Wales, the same place where an equally ancient female was found in 1968. Carbon dating showed that these bones were about 42,000 years old. Initially, people believed that human beings had migrated to Australia between 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, therefore this discovery rewrote the human history of Australia.
Mungo Lady, also known as Mungo Woman or by the scientific identifier ‘Willandra Lakes Hominid 1’, emerged, in fragments, from an eroding lunette on the downwind side of the now-dry Lake Mungo in 1968.His discoveries caused great excitement within the scientific community and the public sphere, as they demonstrated that Australia’s human history spans tens of thousands of years, not a few thousand as previously believed.
