 | The Australian Aborigine was initially assessed to be intellectually inferior
because there were no permanent settlements, no agriculture, no animal
husbandry, no machinery etc etc. It is now considered that the Australian
Aboriginal people adapted exceedingly well to the Australian enviroment where
there were no suitable herd animals, no cereal and other similar plant foods,
and no need, because of their way of life, to build permanent structures. They
enhance rather than degrade the enviroment. We have come to know them as people
of considerable language and artistic ability, and they are great mimics too.
They have a cosmology and "religion" which we would label as "Pantheism". We
could learn much from these so-called primitive peoples.
Regards, Barry
