The dating of the human remains is vital in not only establishing the age of the first Australians, but gaining a sense of their culture and society. ‘The skeletons are by far the earliest evidence found anywhere in the world of human remains being interred with burial rites’ (Grose, 2003). From a cultural perspective this implies a complex society that respected its dead and had some sense of spirituality and notion of an afterlife (Grose, 2003). The evidence gained at Lake Mungo has put a time frame on the climate change that occurred around 50,000 years ago allowing the commencement of occupation. The human occupation peaked during drying of the climate over the next 10,000 years.

Art of the Paleolithic Art of the Paleolithic The Paleolithic Period, which is Greek for “Old Stone Age”, is the earliest period in human history. Today, the Paleolithic is divided into three categories, the first being the Lower Paleolithic (between 2.5 million – 200,000 BCE). During this time, our ancestors, such as Homo erectus and Homo ergaster, lived in nomadic groups and began making the first stone tools. The second Paleolithic category is the Middle Paleolithic (200,000 – 45,000 BCE), marked by the first Homo sapiens sapiens beginning to develop modern behaviors: more sophisticated tools, hunting, and the start of symbolic/ritualistic behavior. By the Upper Paleolithic (ending approximately 10,000 BCE), Neanderthal man had disappeared completely, and our ancestors were exhibiting fully modern behaviors such as making a wide range of even more sophisticated tools out of stone, bone, and ivory; hunting and fishing; and creating various forms of art such as figures and cave paintings.
