The Australian Aborigines are further divided into about 300 separate language groups, sometimes called "nations". A map of the tribal distribution before the arrival of white settlers can be found here [http://www.samuseum.sa.gov.au/page/default.asp?site=2&page=TIN_Tribal]. In Australia, indigenous people as a broad group are usually called "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders" by the government.

The Indigenous Australians lived in [[Australia]] as far as 50 000 years ago. New genetic evidence suggests that multiple waves of people migrated into Australia over tens of thousands of years before [[Europe]]an colonization. [https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/lan/en/atlas.html] Even between these "waves" the Aborigines weren't completely isolated, there was migration back and forth over the islands, allowing small levels of exchange with [[Melanesia]]. With few exceptions, complete isolation of an ethnic group is a fallacy. [http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/Papers/Rohde-MRCA-two.pdf]
