Survey of the history, society, and culture of the Australian Aboriginal peoples, who are one of the two distinct Indigenous cultural groups of Australia. It is generally held that they originally came from Asia via insular Southeast Asia and have been in Australia for at least 45,000–50,000 years.
From the times of the last Ice Age, when sea levels rose and virtually plunged Aboriginal peoples into a state of complete isolation, to the great upheaval caused by colonialism, Aboriginal culture has adapted and survived.
Australia’s Indigenous peoples are two distinct cultural groups made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. But there is great diversity within these two broadly described groups exemplified by the over 250 different language groups spread across the nation.
The Indigenous peoples of Australia comprise two distinct groups: Aboriginal peoples, who have inhabited the mainland and surrounding islands for more than 50,000 years, and Torres Strait Islanders, who have lived in the Torres Strait Islands for around 2,500 years.
