Could be the low resolution/beards but I am honestly surprised at how similar everyone looks. I guess that's how it is as an island aboriginal - not a lot of genes to mix
Well, they all have the same expression on their faces, probably because there's only one way to feel when you're chained up and made to sit on the floor while someone takes your picture.
Did your dumbass really just look at a group of slaves and say "Wow they all look the same to me, they must be inbred?"
What the fuck is wrong with your brains, Lemmy?
Lol, it is easier to distinguish between people of your own culture, that's been tested. That said, it was a real dumb thing to say.
Theres every chance they're all closely related too.
Australia is a big place but people didnt travel far
I think the similarity is due to their facial expression, caused by them being displayed like item under bright sunlight.
Ah yes, just a tiny 7,692,024 km2 island, just a quick 150km Kai Marina sailing trip from PNG and Indonesia.
Human genome studies continue to explore the the genetic diversity of indigenous Australians, as it's a key to help understand early human migration. ABC summary of the genome report.
Australia is really not that much smaller than the lower 48 of the USA, and yet people (mostly Americans) seem to think it's some tiny rural island.
