The Aborigines are black. They did not come from Africa. Parts of India and southern Egypt are predominantly black, as I understand it, and these people do not have African roots either. Admittedly, I do not know off hand the history of some of the island nations, but I do not believe they are all populated by people who were abducted from Africa to be slaves. Some of these islands are virtually all black.

I can not speak to the origins of Australian Aborigines but the blacks in India are the result of centuries of Arab slave trade between the continents. Egypt is in Africa so naturally the people there would tend to be black. The Carribbean is predominantly black and they are non-native. The Tainos Indians were wiped out before the slaves were brought to the islands.
