Aboriginals have been the inhabitants of Australia for far longer than anyone else. They have a distinctive culture that is neither particularly belligerent nor peaceful. Aboriginals tend to be level-headed, cold and perceptive. They also have a strong sense of honour. Aboriginal culture has two major subtypes; nomadic and sedentary. Nomadic aboriginals are largely naturalists who adhere to an ancient lifestyle, but possess great knowledge of the Oceanykan landscape. Sedentary aboriginals are hierarchical, industrious and innovative, if somewhat introverted. They account for 40% of the population.

Due to the unique ecosystem they found themselves in after migrating, and the sheer evolutionary pressure, Aboriginals have a greater chance of presenting the following characteristics:

-Higher sensory capabilities overall. Aboriginal populations maintain several traits that are linked to hunter-gatherers such as 20/20 vision, better low light eyesight, more fine-tuned hearing and smelling, more sensible taste buds and better depth perception.

-More developed cerebellum. Aboriginal eye-hand coordination, body movement and agility is usually higher.

-Independent mutations of green, honey, grey, blue, purple and magenta coloured eyes.

-Personal introversion, prone to long bouts of reflection and analysis.

-Stubborness, specially with social matters such as morals. Many aboriginal societies are still feudal, even if possessing nuclear weapons.
