  1. seem more similar Neanderthals than Homo Sapiens


  2. If you go back far enough, definitely.  Well, if you go back far enough, every living thing on Earth has the same ancestor.  But the latest common ancestor for every human being is pretty late; she lived about 150,000 years ago.  At any rate, all humans are very closely related.  Australians migrated down there by about 40,000 years ago, most likely from Asia, probably island-hopping on down there.

  3. They came to Australia from Australoid-Asian groups of humans, sailing or walking from Asia, about 60,000 years ago.

  4. The aboriginees got to Australia a very long time ago. They where virtually isolated, so their genes did not get as mixed together as on the other continents. This makes their appearance so distinctive. So if you go far back in time the ancestors are the same.

    Where as their technology and life style being so primitive was due to not getting influenced by technologies from elsewhere, due to the same geographical isolation. That is until the sea faring europeans colonised the continents. Their so called primitive ways helped them to survive on a continent that is mostly desert and didn't yield any indigenous crops or animals to domesticate. Without the already well established technological advantage that the early european settlers had( like the prisoners at Botany Bay), the environment would have killed those less adapted to it sooner or later.  

    Mere survival took so much effort that is did not leaving time to invent technologies and what we call a civilised society with literature and politics.

  5. Aborigines of Australia are as human as you or I . What makes them appear so different than any other racial group is the fact that they carry one of the oldest human genomes on the planet. Its like comparing a current model of a Mustang to an original one. They are both Fords, both Mustangs but different in their design. Aborigines are merely from a less modified design but are not in any way less human.
