 The Australian Aborigines felt a strong connection to nature
 which shaped their view of the universe and their place in it.
 They believed they were an element of a much greater entity
 called nature. Nature to the Aborigines was the environment in
 which they lived and everything in it, living or non-living. They
 realized the importance of nature and sought to preserve it. They
 expressed closeness to nature through totems, or affiliations
 with a particular aspect of nature, which in turn shaped their
 mythologies and their vision of the world. 

I think the most unusual thing I ever read about Australian Aborigines was in
some anthropological material when it was recounted that when the so-called
civilized society encountered one group there was a woman who was a deaf
mute.  Some unusual scars she had on her abdomen were questioned.  It was
explained that since they thought her problem could have been passed to her
children, they had removed her ovaries.  Apparently she had survived the
operation without any problem.  Strange.  Prudy

  The aborigines of Australia represent a 40,000 year old culture which,
 in its isolation, survived relatively INTACT since the Paleolithic Age, an
 age when remarkably "modern" cave-paintings (using "perspective,"
 rediscovered only in the Renaissance!) and quite realistic sculptures were
 crafted by a "Cro-Magnon" population in southern Europe
 which was so adept at primitive technology that it wore sewn clothing and
 sandals
 and most likely lived NOT in caves (used as sacred shrines) but in huts above
 ground.
  Existing outside the "mainstream" of "Civilization" which originated in
 the Fertile Crescent and the alluvial plains of Egypt and the Indus, the
 Australian Aborigines knew of no visitations by Sitchin-style "gods," no
 "wars in heaven," and may not even share an equivalent of our "universal"
 Flood myth -- so they may be the best possible example of what human COMMUNAL
 life was, throughout the world, and for tens of thousands of years -- prior
 to our modern notion of "Civilization" being IMPOSED on it by anomalous
 warrior-elites originating in the discrete areas noted above, going forth to
 CONQUER.

I would add to Goat's observations that " civilization " and all its
subsequent charms like elitism ( Kings and Aristocracies ) and their
systems for theft, originated with agriculture which produced enough food
to release non food producers ( farmers ) to become craftspeople, artists,
and the usual array of parasites:

Royalty
Aristocrats
Clergy
Lawyers
