Cultural Origin vs Human Evolution
The speakers discuss the difference between human evolution and cultural origin, using the example of Aboriginal Australia being the oldest continuous living culture. They explain that while humans as a species likely emerged from Africa and spread globally, the cultural origin of a specific group of humans is different from the origin of all humans. They also discuss the complexity and diversity of cultures and the impact of natural disasters on cultural continuity.
