Here's why it's important to understand this:
* Aboriginal people are the oldest continuous culture on Earth: They have lived in Australia for at least 65,000 years, possibly even longer.
* No animals were domesticated in Australia: Unlike other parts of the world, Australia's unique ecosystem didn't lend itself to domestication of animals like sheep, cows, or horses.
Instead of bringing animals, the Aboriginal people adapted to the existing wildlife and developed a deep understanding of it. They learned to live alongside and utilize the unique animals of Australia, like kangaroos, emus, dingoes, and many others.
So, while they didn't bring animals with them, the Aboriginal people of Australia have a long and profound relationship with the animals that were already there.
