Dr. Harari, in his book Sapiens, states the sea voyage across the Wallace line that separates Indonesia from Australia, 50,000 years ago was the most important human accomplishment, on par with the Moon landings! Is it a coincidence the first drawings on the Madjedbebe Cave in Queensland, arise at the same time as the extinction of the Australian Megafauna? Why did modern humans start etching in cave walls at the same time as Neanderthal and Denisovans went extinct?
