Actually, it's a rarely discussed phenomenon that Australian aborigines who conceive children with non-aborigines tend to have extremely high rates of miscarriage and stillbirth. This is likely attributable to the 70,000-50,000 year genetic separation of aborigines from the rest of mankind.

Got any hybrid info on other distinct groups like pygmies?

There were later waves of migrations to Australia. The one that brought in the dingoes with it was much later, IIRC.

That said, sometime last year I confronted one of the "Ape! Just an Ape!" lawyers on these threads (i.e, a creo who was making apes out of most of the hominid series) with links and pictures of the prominent brow ridges and non-prominent chins to be seen on some of the aborigine tribesmen. Not saying how or by whom it happened, but somebody or other had the AdminModerator remove the post, no doubt on anti-racism grounds. It is hard to talk about this stuff, especially to people who will use any excuse at all to run from the data.

Wow, you must find that article again! I've been wondering if that kind of phenomenon exists anywhere. And yes, that would be quite a controversial claim if a researcher were to publish it.

If it is true, I'd expect that aborigines would have less problems mating with Malaysians, BTW. I wonder about an aborigine + a !Kung? or aborigine + a Fuegian? I suppose we could start a "cross-cultural dating service" to try to discreetly generate some raw data... :-)
