The aborigines are the native people of Australia. Like most native peoples, they are dark-skinned, and traditionally dress in loincloths. However, in the 20th century they began to come out of the interior of the Outback and into modern society, where they occupy a place similar to African Americans in America. Very few aborigines still wear loincloths, except in tourist parks.
Aborigines are not Christian; instead, they tell their own pagan creation stories of the "Dream Time", in which the world was created by a giant kangaroo. Both Biblical science and evolutionism contradict the aboriginal myths, though, because kangaroos were not created until after the Earth itself.
