Original: Scientists reveal 93% of Australia's Indigenous population was lost in just 73 years
Scientists have concluded that 93% of Australia's Indigenous population was lost within just 73 years following European colonisation. The finding points to the extraordinary scale of demographic collapse in the country's colonial era, combining disease, violence and dispossession. The research is drawing attention to calls for greater recognition of this history in Australia's national conversation.
