About 'The First Inventors':
The extraordinary science and inventions behind the world’s oldest living culture. Over 65,000 years in the making, the story of Australia’s First Inventors can now be told.
What does it take to become the world’s longest-surviving culture? Rob Collins leads a team of First Nations investigators uncovering over 65,000 years of invention and innovation. It is the story of how entire landscapes were transformed, how prehistoric events were recorded as far back as the last ice age, how people navigated over extraordinary distances, and how whole societies were organised. Ultimately, this story of ancient knowledge also reveals insights which could help navigate the challenges of the future.
