These are macadamia nuts, they are the most economically significant cultivar to come out of Australia. Originally they were domesticated by Europeans as ornamental trees who gradually turned to growing them for their nuts and selling them. While tasty, they yield little calories per square kilometer and take years to reach maturity.
Due to the lack of viable native plants which could be easily domesticated, the native peoples of Australia were unable to develop an agrarian civilization and move beyond hunting and gathering.

You appear to have answered your own question. Well done.
p.s.: eel farming.

The soil in this country is shit for farming without heavy fertilizer use, and the rains are hardly good enough to get an agricultural culture off the ground without irrigation. Not saying abos weren't uncivilized, but people adapt to their surroundings, they there was just never much to work with to develop an advanced culture. Even if they'd built fences, kangaroos could jump over them, wombats are capable diggers, possums and koalas can climb etc. Native plants probably had too low yields of edible material to warrant the investment of farming that would lead to selective breeding. Being isolated also hurt their chances of advancing beyond primitive technology.

What I'm saying is, intelligence develops in response to environmental pressures, it's not like humans just popped out of the ground with Europeans being smart and abos being stupid.
Noonga reporting in.
Say what you will, but Aborigines absolutely mastered stick technology. Didn't even need stones very often as there are hardwoods available that are more versatile.

This meme of "we just didn't have the stuff XD" is really unconvincing DESU.

So if I drop you off naked in the middle of the outback, your ubermensch Euro genes will enable you to survive and prosper?

>Look British, the Zulus mastered the spear, you don't even need gatling guns
how does it feel to be even technologically beaten by niggers, bet you guys wish you coulda had some genetic diversity
The reason why abos never created their own civilization is because they didn't domesticate the aurochs (unlike Europeans)

A white man could survive in a desert far better than an abbo or a bushman. Comes down to one thing: intelligence.

While their lack of civilization is probably caused by geography fucking them over, it does not excuse their abhorrent behavior in modern society.
Same with niggers.

Their land got filled with a bunch of English criminals

You will get sunstroke and die 15 minutes into walkabout with an Abo that doesn't want to find you food and water
>>404396
Only improved from then on though.
Friendly reminder that the Aboriginals literally burned Australia to the ground.
>>402826
You have to remember that abos are pretty stupid on average. The government has to warn them not to drink listerine or let their children sleep in rubbish bins.
It's pretty obvious they're from the dumber part of the human gene pool, so it's no wonder they never accomplished anything except burning Australia down.

>Same with niggers.
No racism, please.

Is that from Guns, Germs and Steel?
