Why did farming never emerge in Australia?
There are several reasons why farming never emerged as a dominant mode of subsistence in Australia. The country's unpredictable and variable climate, lack of suitable domesticable plant and animal species, and abundance of natural resources for hunting and gathering may have made farming less necessary for survival. Additionally, Indigenous Australians had developed highly efficient and sustainable methods of foraging and managing the land, which may have made farming practices less attractive.
