A genetic study has found that Aborigines are descendants of the first people who left Africa up to 75,○○○ years ago, confirming that they may have the oldest continuous culture on the planet.

Indigenous Australians were the first modern humans to traverse an unknown region of Asia and Australia, says Professor Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, who led the study. “It was a really amazing journey that required exceptional survival skills and courage,” he says. A century-old lock of hair, presented to an anthropologist by an Aboriginal man, has led to the discovery has the ancestors of Aboriginal Australians.

John Locke’s Second Treatise on Government directly inspired the American Declaration of Independence. When Locke published it (anonymously) in 1689, he did so at great risk to himself. The ideas that a government derives its just powers only from the consent of the governed, and that when a government infringes natural liberties the people have the right to overthrow it, would probably have gotten him executed if his authorship had become known.

Locke died in October 1704. Now rightly regarded as one of the greatest philosophers to emerge from the Great Enlightenment, within a hundred years of his death, Locke’s reputation was still a subject of dispute. Blaming him for the American and French revolutions, Christ Church College at Oxford took down his portrait. Meanwhile, Thomas Jefferson said he was one of the three greatest men ever to live (Newton and Bacon being the other two).

John Locke was born in Somerset, England on August 29, 1632, three hundred ninety years ago today.

Fascinating early Harappan history.
