You're right, just noticed that as I read your comment, interesting.....They have found to be related directly to South Indians in new studies, you can actually see some South Indians look aboriginal. I'm not sure about the accent though, surely an accent cannot survive for more than 50 thousand years of seperation. That would be absolutely insane
Boab trees , camals and horses came with Arabic and Tamil muslim merchants with Pandiyar and Cholar long before British landed in Australia . But westerners never accept the the fact.
Actually the oldest human remains as well as the oldest remnants of human existence has now been discovered in Australia, leading to a new conversation of whether African nations descend from Aboriginal Australians.
@@mareeadgemis1637 ...WRONG.... Those are the oldest remains found in "Australia".... The oldest human skeletal/remains on the Planet of an actual person is of "Lucy". Lucy was discovered in 1974 in Africa, at Hadar, a site in the Awash Valley of the Afar Triangle in ETHIOPIA, by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The Lucy specimen is an early australopithecine and is dated to about 3.2 MILLION YEARS AGO.
Dispersion by floating from Africa is certainly a possibility...but...how long will the seed survive in saltwater? And if brought by those ancestral humans from Africa..that would take 100s, most likely 1000s of years. Did they keep nuts in reserve during this period? Then, maybe they spread the plant over the regions these humans travelled as they migrated....but where are these plants, and evidence of these plants today in these regions today? Also, dating the Boab's existence within Australia by DNA mutation rates, how long has passed since they genetically separated from their (African) ancestors let alone existed within Australia? Just wondering cos I'd love to know the story behind its origins within Australia
The common name 'boab' might reasonably be assumed to be of Aboriginal origin, but it's actually a corruption of 'baobab', an Arabic word of African origin that means 'father of many seeds'. It's a clue to the tree's evolutionary associations because the boab and baobabs belong to the same genus.
Thanks for doing this story.
The accent of the Australian aboriginals reminds me of the accents that South Indians have.

Fascinating!!

They come with the aboriginals when they migrated from Africa about 60000 years ago
Thats nice to know
They are dying thought right?

One of many theories. What makes most sense to me is that it washed up on shore from neighboring islands that probably no longer exist.

Good questions…
Does its trunks Store water like African baobab
Don’t think so
Baobab trees also exist in India ( western Maharashtra ) in Raigad district .
Could it be a different species than baobab?
Not boabab… it’s a boab

Like an African in an igloo?!?!!!
Well it’s the right climate for them
If so then alternative for constructing dams
I know they like originated in Africa but how it did come to Australia
Floated over
@@RebelFilms thanks for the info
@@RebelFilms Not conclusive!
Ruined by the fuckn music!
