Oh, dearie,dearie, me.  Care to provide a link to where that was claimed, Rhino?  Tsk, tsk, your racism is showing again...

Museum of Victoria recognises it, Rhino.   Archaeologists across Australia recognise it.  Tsk, tsk, so, you're now an archaeology expert as well as an expect on the defence forces, Muslim religion, "race" relations.  Is there nothing you're not an expert on?  Really?   Tsk, tsk.

That's how natural selection works. Only a slight difference can mean the difference between life and death. On Islands in particular, the population is always too small for organised warfare to develop. Thus individual brute strength counts more than organisational ability.

There was not nearly enough fighting between the Pacific Islanders for Nature to then tweak their genes to produce a better model of fighter.

Of far more urgency was the ability to harvest the coastal waters for sea food and the sandy land for root crops and the like.

Being of huge bulk militated against them settling into crudely-crafted canoes to fish from.

As for Polynesians (Pineapples) - well they are only 'big & fat' NOW because they pig out on Maccas, etc.
Before that - their physiology of going long distances over long periods between islands provided them with the ability to last longer than other peoples.
Example: (taken from 'In the Heart of the Sea' book, that inspired Moby Dick) - In a life raft for 93 days, the various attributes of different races came into being. It was said that the 'Negro' Whalers were the first to die of starvation because of the very minimal fat content in their system. Then, the White men would die and the Polynesians would last the longest - because they were used to it over a period of 800 years.
Now though, their 'physical' adaption now 'bites them in the big bum' with junk food.

Neanderthal 'genes' also provide the extra retention of 'fat', but people in the modern world of 'junk food' that have the Neanderthal gene - now put on more weight easier than others.

The 'coincidence' of x3 off-shoot races (Neanderthal, Denisovian & 'mystery X') sort of represented Europe, Asia & Africa (just like Britain, Japan & Madagascar were ...'detached'. 

The San Bushman contain the 'most and oldest' genes passed down through they ages - yep, genetically, they've been around and amongst all the 'Ancient' races - long before a 'branch' went walkabout into Australia.
The 'youngest' Gene Pools are the Europeans (Non-Neanderthal) and Asians (Non-Denisovians).

Polynesian Pineapples come from Asia and you can see the racial & cultural similarities with the Anu of Japan (Nippon) and the Borneans of (Indonesia).
The Melanesian 'Coconuts' have been around far longer than the Polynesians even farted out of Asia - out towards the 'far pacific' of Oceania.
The Melanesians mostly stuck in the region of Sahul, around the outskirts of the more older Aboriginals that were based in Australia.
It is said that the Aboriginals are very closely related to 'Caucasians' too - genetically linked to the 'Caucasus Mountain' area when they started their migration east through India. Hence the 'caucasoid' WAVY HAIR, rather than the Curly or Straight fibres of Negroid/Melanesian and Mongoloid.

I love aboriginal foods.
I haven't heard of Kangaroo Grass before.
Gotta look into that one!
Sounds yummy 

While the Incas were building their castles in the clouds.

Abbos were burning things and throwing sticks at animals.

While the Egyptians were building civilizations and pyramids,

Abbos were burning things and throwing sticks at animals.

While the Romans build one of the largest and most influential civilization on earth,

Abbos were burning things and throwing sticks at animals

While the Chinese dynasties grew and evolved into massive and formidable civilizations,

Abbos were burning things and throwing sticks at animals.

While the British empire grew and advanced nmany civilizations throughout the world,

Abbos burned things and threw sticks at animals.

Now as Australia grows and advances into the future

Abbos burn things, throw down copious quantities of grog and drugs and hold out their hands for more.

Yep, quite a record of advancement I must say.

No written word
No stone age tools
No architecture
No real art, just dots on a piece of bark
No real musical instruments, just some sticks and a hollow log (even a 3 year old knows how to make noise with a hollow object)

Just what do they have that is worthwhile?

Anything?
