    I tried to post this article many times with 4 different browers but it just won't work. I'll quote a small portion and provide a link. Concerning the DNA of and Aboriginal Australian is says "We detect no evidence of European amixture and estimate contamination levels to below 0.5%. We show that Aboriginal Australians are descendents of an early human dispersal into Eastern Asia...The disoersal is seperate from the one that gave rise to modern Asians..."

    Let me explain further. There are three main races of people caucasian[White race which includes europeans right through to the Indians] . The mongols [This is all the Asian people from the American indians to the chinese] The Negro race is th erace mostly from Africa.

    The Australian Aboriginals have their roots from India and are considered by anthropologists to be more closely related to caucasians than the other two races.

    Are Aboriginals black? Yes. Do they have black features? Yes. Did they have european blood ? No they originated from India and until now people in the south of India bear a striking resemblance to our original inhabitance.

    My understanding of the issue being raised was this ...

    Aboriginal peoples are just that. We have aboriginal people here. We often call them "Native Americans" or "Inuit" .... they were the ORIGINAL peoples who lived here, and in Australia, before the invasion of the Europeans (us). It is their homeland.

    Black, or African-Americans, were kidnapped from their homeland brought here as slaves.

    Personally, I consider myself a member of the 'human' race -- we are all related, as has been stated,,, we all can trace back to the centre of civilization, which would be called Mesopotamia (?).

    In spite of our differences in culture, and some strong genetic traits towards some physical dis-eases or conditions ,,,, we are all more the same, than we are different.

    Did you even bother to read the article I linked for you made that post? It says that Aboriginal Australians traveled from Africa to Australian and were the first group to travel through Asia. It also states that through DNA they didn't detect any evidence of "European amixture", which means that have no relations to caucasians. It your going to keep making that claim please provide some form of evidence.

    Gday talesin, Europeans settled in Australia. They didnt invade with military force. When Captain Cook first landed one of his crew was speared to death by an aboriginal later when captain Philip, our first governor of New South Wales went to meet the aboriginal people he was speared in the shoulder and told his soldiers not to fire on the natives.

    When captain Cook went to Hawawai he was killed by the natives their after leaving strict instructions not to fire and cause bloodshed.

    I have respect for these men, they were true gentlemen.

    Europeans did settle in Australia and aboriginals were badly treated by some.

    People from all over the world can settle in Australia now. Do we now call those people invaders? No

    Did the aboriginal people consisting of over 1000 tribes languages and no central government and have an imigration policy for foreigners entering their country ? No
