First of all, your question seems to be presuppose that humanity in its "normal" state has some non-black skin color and that blackness is a deviation from the norm, demanding an explanation.
However, Aboriginals have dark skin for the same reason Europeans have light skin, North Africans have medium skin, and Sub-Saharan Africans have dark skin: adaptation to to climate. Natural selection has tended to favor dark-skinned individuals in tropical regions. Obviously southern Australia is far from the Tropics, but this, one can guess, indicates that Aboriginals "became" black at some point in their history whilst living in a hot sunny climate in Australia or elsewhere (i.e. Africa).
Some people think they somehow came from Africa and most of the natives peoples in Africa are black, so that could be a contributing factor.
