Yet, when the Aboriginal people first set foot on this vast continent, perhaps 60,000 years ago, they were in the vanguard of human cultural development. By 35,000 years ago, they had spread throughout the land, occupying and adapting to a host of environmental conditions, ranging from sub-antarctic tundra in the south to tropical rainforest in the north and arid desert in the interior. Not surprisingly, this ensured that Aboriginal culture itself diversified widely, although without exception, all aspects of life were intrinsically linked to the territory of each particular group.  \nFrom 1788, however, the world of the Aboriginal people began to collapse when the British laid claim to Australia. Frontier conflict, introduced disease, loss of land, and the depletion of natural resources, all contributed to their dramatic demographic collapse. By the late 19th century, it appeared the Aborigines were destined to become extinct, which to some extent accounts for the confused British-Australian official policies that wavered between assimilation and segregation.
