Australian Aborigines are Australoid. While they may resemble Africans in their skin colour, they are actually VERY different from them, perhaps even more so than Caucasians are. The DNA of Australian Aborigines is closest to that of many of the people of the Indian sub-continent.
Australian aborigines belong to the Australoid race. Australoid peoples ranged throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, New Guinea, Melanesia, the Andaman Islands, the Indian subcontinent, as well as parts of the Middle East.
As a race, the Australian Aborigines were not (and are not) cannibals. However, in 1858, explorer Augustus Gregory found evidence of cannibalism among the indigenous Australians, noting near a campfire in western Australia "bones of a full-grown native that had been cooked".
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd officially apologised to the Stolen Generations of Australian Aborigines on 13 February 2008.
Australian Aborigines are not a civilization, they are a people native to the Australian mainland including the island of Tasmania. It is widely believed that the first Aborigines migrated to Australia over 40,000 years ago.
