Sjur+-+Aboriginal+People

The Aboriginals are the indigenous people of [|Australia] and constitute 2.2 % of the Australian population. Their name, aborigines, is a foreign word which means the same as “earliest known” or “the first”. In other words, the aborigines were the first known humans in Australia. The aborigines originate from [|Southeast Asia], but we assume they travelled over the [|Indian Ocean] to the Australian continent around 40- 50 000 years ago, and therefore we look at them as one of the world’s oldest [|natives].
