Lake Mungo remains that LM3 can not be older than 50,000 years BP. According to anthropologist Peter Brown, with the absence of the original deposit that once lay above the burial, a minimum age for the burial has not been established, only a possible maximum. In 2003, Professor Bowler led a project bringing together a multi-disciplinary team of Australian expert groups (comprising four Australian universities, the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and the CSIRO, as well as including descendants of the Mungo people) to collaborate on a final determination of the skeleton's age. They reached a consensus that LM3 is about 40,000

He is the son of Mungo Ballardie MacCallum (1913–99), a journalist and pioneer of television in Australia, and Diana Wentworth, a great-granddaughter of the Australian explorer and politician William Charles Wentworth (1790–1872). MacCallum's father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather were also called Mungo MacCallum. He is a nephew of William Charles Wentworth IV (1907–2003), who was a Liberal member of the House of Representatives (1949–77) and a virulent anti-communist. MacCallum and his uncle, while agreeing on certain questions, were fundamentally of different political inclinations.
