What happened to Australian Aborigines?

[Borealis]

Why do they look the way they do? No full blooded abos even approach being attractive, the same cannot be said of any other race.

well first of all they have a lot of denisovan admix. but tibetans have that too and they're quite attractive so idk if that alone explains it.

I guess just the fact that they were the earliest humans to leave africa without any outside interactions, high levels of inbreeding, no sexual selection due to lack of options, etc. so this way they just retained the archaic features. They've been isolated in australia for the longest time compared to any other population.

while migrating to australia many of them did settle in the subcontinent and in the nearby andaman and nicobar islands and left their aesthetics as well.

Andamanese are not ugly though, nothing like aborigines. How much Denisova are they?

not sure about the percentage since different sources point to different numbers.

Here's a map though. Denisovan is found highest among papuans and australian aborigines

Seems like too small an amount to have a serious phenotypic impact tho.

no thats why i said it might not be the main reason. The archaic features have not changed due to isolation and high levels of inbreeding resulting in the way they are now.

Yeah, but this isn't race mixing at this point but mixing between sub species. Kind of like a dog mixing with a coyote.

They are the nicest people ever
