Where did Aboriginals originally come from? and WHen?

Aboriginals: The native people of Australia.


I%26#039;d like to know when they originally came out of whereever, when they did. like 300 k years ago ect.
Where did Aboriginals originally come from? and WHen?
I should think most of them came out of their mother%26#039;s womb.





But migrationally speaking, I think that they came down from New Guinea, as at that time sea levels were much lower and there was no water mass separating Australia from New Guinea, just swamp land.
Where did Aboriginals originally come from? and WHen?
Africa, then they spread along the Indian ocean edges in a sweeping clockwise motion. Pockets of %26quot;Aboriginal-like%26quot; peoples remain in India and Vietnam. Some think that the Ainu of Japan are Aboriginal also. The majority of Aboriginal Y-chromosomes are Haplogroup C4, then M and a few RxR1.





Some of their mitochodria are Haplogroup P and Haplogroup S
Reply:Successive waves of settlers moved from south-east Asia into the Pacific at a very early stage (since those people kept no written records, there is no way of accurately dating the first migrations). Some of these were the ancestors of the Ainu people (the aboriginal Japanese) and the people of New Guinea, the Torres Straight Islands and mainland Australia.





There are both cultural and genetic differences between these groups and the familiar Polynesian and Melanesian Islanders of the Pacific, which may indicate that the earliest ancestors of the aborigines were from further west, perhaps India or Burma.
