Same species, but vastly different in so many ways.
Genetically speaking, the great apes share many of our genes so that they are virtually identical. But that in no way makes them equal.
Biologists and geneticists wouldn't allow that statement to stand, I'm sure....but for the sake of the argument lets read on:
Quote: The fact that they remained pre-stoneage right up to the arrival of their saviours, the magnificent whites, simply goes to show that they were and are too lazy to even advance their kultcha beyond sticks and stones.
You completely ignored the isolation of Australia and its separation from the advance of civilization. Even Britons - at the edge of the Eurasian continent - were still illiterate when Caesar showed up, 2 millenia after the invention of Babylonian astronomy.
Quote:Other indigenous people all over the world are far more advanced, even those island bound with little resources.
Maoris? New Guineans? Amazonians?
Quote:But here we have a country where coal, iron ore and copper is lying all over the ground and not one of these primitives woke up to the fact that they could process copper, or iron or steel.
Hunter gatherers don't NEED to process metals. And if the country doesn't have native grasses suitable for agriculture, it's impossible to stay in one place long enough to develop those technologies.
Quote:Simply too lazy and primitive.
It was even beyond them to attach a rock to a stick.
Addressed above; geography, not lack of intelligence.
Quote:Excuses abound to justify the aboriginal laziness.
But the simple fact is that if they couldn't burn it or eat it, it never entered their minds.
Does this not remind you of a monkey who's use of a stick as a tool which is is rudementary at best?
Monkeys don't develop complex song and dance traditions.
