In this video, we'll discuss evidence of ancient Australian Aboriginals in South America.
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that Australian Aboriginals were in South America long ago. This is a controversial topic, but we'll discuss the evidence and ask the question: was there an ancient Australian Aboriginals migration to South America?
Circumstantial evidence that Australians may have reached South America first includes bones painted with red ochre, like the Aboriginal Australian remains at Lake Mungo, and the rock shelters of 'Pedra Ferada' in Brazil, which contain stone artifacts dated as old as 60,000 years, which is roughly the same age as the first signs of human activity in Australia.
Among living South American Natives, the Yaghan and other peoples of Tierra del Fwuego are the only ones to retain such Australoid features. DNA studies support the theory, showing a mixture of Siberian and Australian genetic markers among Fwuegians.
