- A mammal. Eggs. And a long debate.
Platypuses lay eggs and feed their young milk. Yet an 1883 book still favoured live birth.
- The reports were already on the page.
Buckley recorded Indigenous reports of soft eggs, then proposed that the eggs broke as they were laid.
- 1884: a team made the case.
With Wakkawakka help, Caldwell’s team found a platypus with one egg in her nest and another about to be laid.
- Knowledge came before acceptance.
Indigenous reports came first. European scientific acceptance followed. The collectors belong in the story too.
