Growth of human population in Australia, 1000-10,000 years BP
Ron W Nielsen aka Jan Nurzynski

TL;DR
This study examines Australian rock-shelter site data to assess human population growth between 1000 and 10,000 years BP, finding no evidence of population intensification during this period.
Contribution
It introduces an alternative method to estimate population size distribution over time, challenging previous interpretations of population growth patterns.
Findings
No evidence of population growth intensification between 1000 and 10,000 years BP
Proposes a new approach for analyzing population size distribution over time
Supports the view of stable population levels during the studied period
Abstract
Close analysis of the published interpretation of the number of rock-shelter sites in Australia provides further evidence that there was no intensification in the growth of human population between 1000 and 10,000 years BP. An alternative way of determining the time-dependent distribution of the size of human population between 1000 and 10,000 years BP is discussed.
