Abstract

This essay discusses two waves of settlement by Homo sapiens of continental Australia; the first over 60 000 years ago, and the second less than 250 years ago. The failure of the second wave of Homo sapiens to understand the way the first wave had changed the biotic composition has led to major environmental problems.
