no... the word aboriginal simply means "original or indigenous land owner"
"Aboriginal" can even refer to Eskimos and American Indians, but it is commonly used as the name of the indigenous Australians.

∙ 13y agoYes, they are racially related. Australian Aborigines are, of course, Australoid, which, though dark-complexion, is its own race distinct from other races like (Congoid (eg. blacks), Caucasoid(eg. whites), and Mongoloid (eg Japanese). South Asians are a mix of Australoid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid, with more Australoid in the South.
So, yes, they are distantly related.
