This allows us to formulate a number of proposals concerning the perception of Aboriginal mythical ancestors, especially their animal versus human characteristics. In contrast to the totally hybrid status of demonic beings (mamu), such as Kurpany, ancestors reveal their ambigous nature rather seldom.}, abstract={When moving, they were usually described as zoomorphic beings, but at the same time they were endowed with "human" moods of behaviour, and especially "human" cultural equipment. However, their transformations into the distinctive elements of the Uluru landscape went randomly, without any stable code of transformation. The Dreaming tracks of ancestors also could not provide the syntagm of myth, due to the constant repeating of mythic episodes in different geographical contexts.}, abstract={Therefore depicting mythic episodes in rock formations, trees or grass could not offer unabiguous asignments. However, symbolic structures that were projected on the elements of Uluru landscape took the lead in the processes of transformations, what espacially may be observed by the repeatable presence of dual social organization code in the symmetric layout of the rock features.}, title={Ludzie czy zwierzęta?
