Best Answer

There are a number of factors to take into account. Firstly the environmental temperature of Australia and the amount of sunlight contributes to the evolution of darker skin in the indiginous people. Secondly historical theory suggesting links between African and or Indian people sharing dark skin pigments. Lastly darker skinned people tend to blend into there environment. Humans have evolved to be able to survive in their environments e.g. white skin blends well in areas with high snow fall, brown skin is found in desert areas and darker skin is found in hotter areas with with constant sun exposure. Although all theory it seems to make alot of sense.
