The finding suggests that earlier scientists were wrong about the ancient history of Australia.
Archaeologists found on a river in New South Wales in Australia a human skeleton, whose age is 800 thousand years.
Researchers from Griffith University examined the remains and found that an ancient resident of Australia was killed by a boomerang.
Initially, the experts believed that the wound on the body of a man was left with a sharp blade.
However, setting the age of the skeleton, it became clear that this could not be, since the death of the man came 600 years before the Europeans brought metal weapons on the Green continent.
Presumably, native was killed by a wooden boomerang with a length of 18 inches, such boomerangs men used for hunting and war.
Also able to establish that the age of the men at the time of death was 25-35 years. He was given the name Yakutia that the language of the local tribe baanante means “older brother”.
As experts say, on the human body, in addition to fatal injuries, there were other injuries. He had two partially healed traumatic brain injury, broken ribs and injured shoulder.
