Out of time, out of place

In the 1970's, two exciting discoveries of human fossil remains at Kow Swamp and Lake Mungo focused world attention on Australia. Evidence implied that two very different types of people lived here long before the emergence of modern Aborigines. Physical anthropologist Dr Alan Thorne is a leading proponent of the Regional Continuity theory of human evolution. Out of Time, Out of Place examines his hypothesis that modern Aborigines are the descendants of two groups of people who migrated to Australia from Indonesia and eastern Asia, predominantly China. We follow Dr Thorne as he travels through England, Java and China to find answers to many of the questions posed by the dreamtime stories of the first Australians.

  • "The discovery of human fossil remains in the late 1960's and 1970's in Kow Swamp, Vic. and Lake Mungo, N.S.W. indicate that these peoples predate the Australian aboriginal. Dr. Alan Thorne puts forward his theory that these people came from Indonesia and China. He demonstrates and suggests how and why these people would have come to Australia and also suggests that later these people came together to become the modern Australian aboriginal."@en
