Malaria Prevented Any Maori Colonisation of Eastern Australia
The answer is the humble anopheles mosquito in Eastern Australia,
which may have meant that any wakas that strayed too far west
and landed there wouldn't have made it home. Hmmm. So if one
fiddled with the climate, or introduced an anti-anopheles virus or
bacteria into the mix, that wouldn't have happened.
NB: Sorry, but the early introduction of quinine is a step too far
into incredulity for me. What about the rest of you
