Prehistory of Australia

By John Mulvaney & Johan Kamminga

Australia's human prehistory through more than 40,000 years

Prehistory of Australia explains why Aboriginal Australia is recognised today for its significance in global prehistory and why so many of its archaeological places have merited World Heritage Listing.

In this edition the authors review diverse topics, such as the controversy about the time people first arrived on the continent's northern coast, the extinction of marsupial mega fauna and the diversity of Aboriginal rock art.
