Where is the origin of human beings in Australia?

According to the accepted theory of evolution so far, the Australian man is the result of the homo erectus that emerged in Africa and evolved later. According to the research work of a group of Australian researchers, the origin of the Australian man in Africa is debatable. These researchers have studied the remains of DNA found in Lake Mungo in Australia in 1974. Footprints are between 56,000 and 68,000 million years old.

After the study, anthropologist Alan Thorne has stated that the skeleton and DNA of the Man of Mungia are not related to the remains of modern human beings found in Africa and elsewhere. "Neither the skeleton nor the DNA have traces of what happened in Africa. In Australia there are human beings who have nothing to do with Africa," said the anthropologist.

According to Australian researchers, the man from Lake Mungo is anatomically modern, but has lost the DNA line. This means that at least one post-homo erectus group evolved outside Africa. According to Thorne's theory, human evolution took place in different places: Africa, Europe and West and East Asia.
