The Australian Aboriginal culture is a fascinating one for so many reasons. Chief among them is its longevity. From what we can tell, their culture is continuous and relatively unchanged over a +50,000 year time span.

They are the KINGS of "sustainability".

However, the lesson of their cultural sustainability may be that it requires an Aboriginal lifeway and a total global population of around 400 million. About 5% of today's nearly 8 billion.

That population, at that level of environmental impact, could probably persist for hundreds of thousands of years. Much like the Neanderthal and the Denisovans before we absorbed them.

Would that be a worthwhile tradeoff to you? If we voted on what kind of world we were trying to save for the "Post Climate Disaster" survivors to go forward with.
