comment, I'm confused. We have summaries of the island groups precisely because they are small subgroups. In the same manner we could readily create a summary article on the
Indians of Long Island or New York State. What we could not do however is create an article on Native Americans that excludes Long Islanders or New Yorkers, or at least not rationally. That's because Long Islanders are part of the spectrum of the broader Native American group. And in exactly the same way Tiwi Islanders have a summary because they are a subgroup, but it would be impossible to summarise Aborigines as a group in a manner that somehow excludes the Tiwi Islanders. The only solution would seem to be what we have now: a major article on Aborigines with some select groups such as Tiwi Islanders given special treatment. To try to give similar treatment to Mainland Aborigines while exclusing those specific groups seems unworkable. Basically I agree with Gnangarra; we should be working at getting more daughter articles on the subgroups, not on suggesting that the mainalnd as a whole was populated by some homogeneous group that were all more similar to one another than to the island groups. That simply isn't true.

rather than the earlier fossil deposits of ash & soot which some had postulated indicate change to deliberate burning of forests for hunting upto or beyond -100k. In the absence of any hard evidence of Human or Proto Human archaeology we'd have to assume then that the deforestation by burning changing
Australia to savannah and eucalypt forest might of been a natural occurrence, as can be seen by lightening fires today, and the assumption that humans designed and started the practice might be erroneous. They might of just saw the consequences, found that it was beneficial to hunting food, and therefore took up the practice of burning due to what they observed and how they benefited.

migration). Australian
Aboriginal and New Guinean populations share ancestry with that group and were involved in secondary gene exchange until the land bridge submerged 8,000 years ago (I'm guessing this explains the gracile and robust forms that were thought to indicate 2 migrations). Homo Erectus already inhabited Australia but there was no interbreeding. The original group that left Africa are the direct ancestors of both the Australian Aboriginals and Eurasians. Assuming 1km per year from Africa along the ācoastal expressā route the first colonisation event was 45,000 BP.

is whether they themselves were assaulted as a child. The historical causes of sexual abuse in indigenous communities thus may clearly be traced to the abuses of colonisation. Many
Aboriginal activists believe that John Howard's govt cynically used publicity about child sexual assault to justify their moves to roll back indigenous rights in the Northern Territory. It is very difficult to know the facts in such a case, and I think therefore the Knowledge (XXG) article should perhaps not go into it yet. (See

As I understand it, their indigenous knowledge systems cannot easily be cut up into separate pieces named "religion", "ecology", "science", "art", etc. Knowledge is knowledge, and the spiritual/religious is one part of knowledge, interrelated to other parts.

What this shows is that up to pre-referendum 1967 counts (101,978) excluded full-blooded Aborigines and in 1971 for the first time the count (115,953) included them - the difference between the two years gives only 14,000 full-blooded at that time. It's hard to extrapolate from this, but 300,000+ still seems bullish.

Nope, there is no problem whatsoever with creating an article on Aboriginals, and I said the same thing above. The point is that Aborigine is not a perfect synonym for "Mainland Indigienous Australian". Tiwi Islanders and Tasmanians to name just two groups are also indisuputably Aborigines but are
