Introduction
The word was coined by the Latin and was originally used as designation for the Latins. It means original inhabitants but is mainly used for the original inhabitants of Australia.
The traditions of the Aborigines point out that that they have lived in Australia since they exist. Anthropologists however assume that they emigrated from Asia and came to Australia between the 30th and 70th pre-Christian millenium. As proof scientists say that the sea level at this time was relatively low, so that there was a direct connect between Australia and the Asian mainland.
