Banjaras are numerous nomadic tribes found in different parts of west India, moving from place to place and living their lives according to their own set of rules. The banker tribes are thought to be descendants of European Roma gypsies who migrated 2300 years ago through the rugged mountains of Afghanistan to settle in the deserts of Rajasthan and other Indian states. The Banjara Tribe is well-known in India, as they inhabit the majority of the country's states. They're known for their brightly colored outfits with a plethora of accessories.
These tribes are said to be linked to European gypsies who migrated from India, according to anthropologists. According to other studies, the Banjara, Lamani, and Lambada tribes are actually members of the Kshatriya Gorvamshiya family. It was discovered that the Gorvamshiyas' Gor community is at the root of the Indus culture.

The Ahir were reportedly one of the Central Asian immigrant tribes who arrived in India during the early Christian period. For centuries, the Ahir have been a strictly occupational caste, drawn primarily from indigenous tribes.

Since they live in Gond villages, many Ahir in Mandla are barely considered Hindus (a forest tribe).
The timing of arrival of the first populations on the continent and surrounding islands is a matter of debate among scientists. Mungo Man LM3 and Mungo Lady, which have been dated to about 50,000 years BP, are the oldest definitively human remains discovered in Australia. A date as early as 65,000 BP is indicated by recent archaeological findings from the study of charcoal and artifacts revealing human use. As far back as 60,000 years BP, luminescence dating has indicated habitation in Arnhem Land. Fire evidence in South-West Australia suggests "human presence in Australia 120,000 years ago"
Within the broader designation of Torres Strait Islander people, there are five distinct populations, based partially on geographical and cultural divisions.
