Talgai skull, a partly fossilized human skull, was discovered in 1884 near Warwick on the Darling Downs in Queensland, Australia. It was found by workers, one of whom kept it as a souvenir until 1914. It was then sent to Sir T. W. E. David, professor of geology at Sydney University, for examination. The skull was found to be that of a boy, about 16 years of age. It showed a number of characteristics that appear to predate those of present-day Australian Aborigines. During the 1960's, N. W. G. Macintosh, professor of anatomy at Sydney University, carried out a close inspection of the area where the skull had been found. He estimated that the skull was about 12,000 years old.
