Preferred term

Australian Aboriginal beliefs and traditions  

Definition(s)

  • The interest in Australian Aboriginal beliefs and traditions increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as European scholars tried to understand the origin and evolution not only of the human species but also of its religion and culture. Australian Aborigines were believed to be in the early stages of this development, representing the dawn of humankind, according to the models of cultural evolution at the time.
