you do know, (even if they are claiming asian descent) they origins are from africans. all races are mutations of the african race.
I wish I had more time to gather some of the articles I've read on the subject, debate concerning a single wave migration or multiple waves from Africa.
It's been proven, their DNA is fairly isolated, and not influenced as other Indian Ocean/Eurasian peoples. But an yet, they share cultural, tribal similarities, words even, with the Lawoi, Thailanders.
Obviously their must have been contact, and in contact, perhaps interbreeding. Of course Eurocentrists will have you believe, nobody crosses bodies of water before the Spanish, and the only way people migrated were land bridges, walking.
That's why I appreciate people like Thor Heyerdahl,
proving the Egyptians for one, were fully capable of crossing the Atlantic. An also his
Kon Tiki Voyage in the Pacific, proving, purposeful exploration an cultural connections with South America to the Polynesian, ancient peoples we able to traverse the seas.
All an all Australian Aborigines have had it bad. According to the euro centric view of Evolution, Darwin had them below the Negroid, as the most primitive of homo sapian.
But then again some black people want to believe in that racist theory. Oh well.
With Europeans having that type of attitude, the guns, and the disease and germs, they took to every corner of the earth, those poor people didn't have a chance.
But if I'm not mistaken, the Australian government has official apologized to the natives, and given them huge tracts of land back.
