  Here are two much more recent papers on the topic:

  It's a small world after all. Interestingly, DNA from Aboriginal Australians suggests Australia experienced a wave of migration from India about 4,000 years ago.

  The dating method sounds very unreliable:

  "The style of the art means it is at least 17,000 years old, but it could be up to 50,000 years old."

  Art style? Yeah, right..... I call bull. Until carbon dated, I call this false.

  If i draw something today in that style, it would not make it 50000 yrs old.
