Summary
Evans and McConvell (1998) and McConvell (2001) proposed that long-term hunter-gatherer adaptations in Australia required the capacity for both “upstream” movements toward the center of the continent, into relatively empty territory, drawn by improving climatic conditions in the interior, and “downstream” movements back toward the edges of the continent, into populated territory, when conditions in the interior deteriorated.
