The Lake Mungo remains fossils are the remains of three famous sets of fossils: Lake Mungo 1 , also called Lady Mungo (as well as LM1 and ANU-618 ; English Lady Mungo ), Lake Mungo 3 , also called Mungo male (a also LM3 and Lake Mungo III ; English Mungo Man ), and Lake Mungo 2 ( LM2 ), found in the dunes of Lake Mungo .

Mungo Lake is located in New South Wales ( Australia ) and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Willandra Lake District [1] [2] .
The remains of LM1 were discovered in 1969 and are among the oldest cremations [1] [3] . LM3, discovered in 1974, was one of the first people to live on the Australian continent , which scientists believe was between 68 and 40 thousand years ago, in the Pleistocene era. Mungo fossils are by far the oldest anatomically modern human remains found in Australia. Their exact age is a subject of ongoing debate.
In one of the samples, scientists were able to determine the mitochondrial haplogroup S (subclade S2) [4] .
