The First Inventors: June 29

This week on The First Inventors, “A Connected Continent” looks at ancient superhighways, decoding the secret language of message sticks.

Episode Three:
Just a handful of civilisations have survived more than a few thousand years. Here in Australia, First Nations inventors found success through systems of trade, communication, and social organisation. In this episode, we uncover ancient superhighways, decode the secret language of message sticks, and solve the mathematical mystery of kinship systems. Led by Rob Collins, a team of investigators reveal how – and why – the first inventors built a deeply connected continent.
