@IiiLamonte @archeohistories Earth is between 2.5 and 3.5 billion years old. Your 6000 year old earth comes from Bishop Usher counting the generations in the Old Testament but The Bible is not a complete history of man . Plus prior to the flood it recorded men living 969 years!

@archeohistories Ahem ...the earth is roughly 6000 years old. Don't be one of those people who think anything fictional.

A centuries old lock of hair, presented to an anthropologist by an Aboriginal man, has led to new DNA analysis that shows Aboriginal Australians are the World’s Oldest Society. The group was the first to split after a single wave of migration out of Africa took place between 51,000-72,000 years ago, study shows. For centuries, Aboriginal Australians have said they belonged to the oldest sustained civilization on the face of the Earth, citing their culture and history of oral storytelling that stretches back tens of thousands of years. Now, one of the most extensive analyses of Indigenous Australian DNA to date suggests that they've been right all along. By analyzing DNA from 787 people from 270 modern cultures spread across the world, a group of scientists identified and tracked ancient genetic mutations that they believe mark when different ethnicities diverged as their ancestors settled across the world, Benson reports. Aboriginal people of Australia DNA confirms that the indigenous culture is one of the most ancient cultures on earth, they are from Africa. Using this genetic tracing, the researchers suggest that the first Homo sapiens began leaving Africa between 51,000-72,000 years ago. And the ancestors of Indigenous Australians were the first group to split off from that migration. Thus, confirming that they may have the oldest continuous culture on the planet. This study confirms our beliefs that we have ancient connections to our lands and have been here far longer than anyone else,” Aubrey Lynch, an Indigenous elder from Australia's Goldfields region, tells Devlin. Indigenous Australians were the first modern humans to traverse an unknown region of Asia and Australia, says Professor Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, who led the study. “It was a really amazing journey that required exceptional survival skills and courage,” he says. A century-old lock of hair, presented to an anthropologist by an Aboriginal man, has led to the discovery has the ancestors of Aboriginal Australians. While the study appears to seal the deal on the world’s oldest society, it raises new questions. The genetic analysis also showed that the ancestors of Indigenous Australians and Papuans may have mated with a previously-unknown human species, just like ancient Europeans interbred with Neanderthals. Though scientists are just now getting hints at who these mysterious human species were, further genetic analysis could shed light on another ancient relative. #archaeohistories
