NATIVE PEOPLE

Australian Aborigines 

 Australian Aborigines are the first people known to have inhabited the mainland.

They are,with the natives of the Torres Strait,the indigenous population of the Pacific state.

The most common aboriginal word generally refers to those ancestors who were the earliest known inhabitants of this native land.

Oceania, that is to say Australia and New Guinea,having never been linked to Asia, there are several theories about their origin.

One of them is that they would have come from the Indonesian archipelago by boats from the north via Timor 40 000 years ago.

Another suggests that they would come through a passage between New Guinea and Australia, which then formed a part of the whole continental emerged from Sahul.

These two theories are not mutually exclusive and it is also possible that many human waves have arrived at different times or at the same time in different geographical parts of the continent.
