Imagine that you had the chance to interview Mungo Man and Mungo Lady what questions would you ask them. There are so many unanswered questions from the amazing Lake Mungo, so if I ever had the chance to meet the Mungo people this is what I would ask them:
Questions
Answer
How old are you?
Dating the past is very difficult for scientists, and methods
still have inaccuracy, but they say that I am around 32,000 years old.
Who killed the Megafauna?
Humans killed the megafauna because they thought the megafauna would be a threat to their existence and decrease the amount of food sources available to the people.
What was life like?
Life was difficult but you learn to adapt and you get taught things by
your elders. I was taught how to hunt when I was very young and I found ways to create
shelter and fire.
Why were you buried those ways?
I’m not sure and nobody really knows, after examining my bones scientists
discovered my DNA wasn’t like any other skeleton.
What did you eat?
My diet was mostly plant-based, my family and I used to travel
through the forest and look fruits,
vegetables, nuts, seeds and meat
