The aboriginies in Australia and Japan > (the Ainu) and Africa are all caucasian (did I spell that right, Dan? :-). > The "native americans" are descended from "orientals" (boy, am I glad Scott > isn't looking over my shoulder today...). You seem to be using a racial classification in which there are only two divisions, with "aboriginal" reserved for one of them. > Is there a word for a race that is native to an area when another race > invades? Yes: aboriginal (n. aborigine)
