No need to embellish history – According to the National Museum of Australia, Indigenous people have occupied mainland Australia for at least 65,000 years, probably predating the human settlement of what is now Europe and the Americas. Increasingly sophisticated dating methods of the earliest archaeological sites are providing a more accurate understanding of our continent’s earliest human habitation. Australia’s long, proud Indigenous history requires no embellishment or editing. That is why anthropologist Peter Sutton and archaeologist Keryn Walshe have done Australians a favour with their new book, Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers? The Dark Emu Debate, released by Melbourne University Press. The scholars put the blowtorch to Bruce Pascoe’s controversial 2014 bestseller Dark Emu and found it badly wanting – poorly researched, exaggerated, ignoring widespread information that does not support the author’s opinions and containing a large number of factual errors, as columnist Henry Ergas wrote on Friday.
