Original Note:
The claims made in the book have widely been debunked and dismissed by the anthropology community due to heavy colonial bias in the novel. Indigenous Tasmanians were able to create fire and had a complex society long before colonisation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboriginal_Tasmanians https://figshare.utas.edu.au/articles/conference_contribution/Busting_Myths_and_Misconceptions_The_Tasmanian_Aborigines/23159219
