If Aboriginal culture were 24 hours old, white people have been in Australia five minutes

Conal Hanna and Jamie Brown

The discovery that Aboriginal people have lived in Australia at least 65,000 years, 18,000 years longer than was known previously, has blown the minds of archaeologists worldwide and challenged many previously held assumptions.

It's a hard number to wrap your head around, so consider this: if Aboriginal culture were 24 hours old, then the First Fleet arrived just five minutes and four seconds ago.
