Why didn't the aborigonal australians develop civilization? they could have local millet or spinifex as a staple crop and could have domesticated emus for eggs and meat.

Peoples which didn't go through the Eurasian ice age never developed a high enough IQ to create civilizations (australians and sub saharans).

They were largely nomadic or just stayed where there was food and water, and the latter can be hard to come by in Australia which is probably why a lot lived around Botany

They eat fucking petrol.

No, they sniff it, they drink metho though

They're born from anal sex. Of course they're retarded.

The emus are more likely to have domesticated the abos then the other way around.

What is it about abos, beer and stores?

At least try.

the sad truth of the matter is that they could domesticate us all if we didn't routinely cull their population every couple decades

They did use it, but I don't think it'd have been worth it to actually farm the stuff.
>could have domesticated emus
lelnope
They did do some civilisation-related stuff though that you never really hear about, but it was limited.
Even if they did manage to start farming grains, it would've been fucking shit. The reason it works so well across Australia today is because of the Industrial Revolution. The soil is shit, the water is low, and the rivers are tiny. River boats that supplied half of Australia during the Colonial period could get stranded for months on end because the water simply dried up.
But probably the biggest thing was that there was fucking nobody there. A few hundred thousand people across an entire continent. Need more noggins to be joggin'. Plus, even if they tried attempts at agriculture and failed, how would we even know? Most of the evidence would've just decayed over time to the point that it'd be unrecognisable.

Agriculture and sedentarism are born out of need. As barren or hostile as the australian land may seem, it housed these cultures for millennia with little need for change, because with the right cultural adaptations, people can 'exploit' their environment successfully without having to fucking raise animals or crops themselves - such practices are energetically more costly than sustaining small groups through hunting and gathering.
'Primitive' cultures are such because they found means of subsistence that worked really well for their particular environment
