And on my ignorance I thought there were still a lot of Aboriginal tribes still somewhat living without mixing with the Europeans descendants (in Brazil we still have several tribes that are still unknown and others that even though use cloths and technology are almost zero mix).

We pretty much have contact with all Aboriginal tribes, they tend to rely on modern advantages like Vehicles, Clothing, Housing and so on.
In the more developed areas where there have been significant European influence though, you can see the biological influence from Europeans which has resulted in significantly lighter skin pigmentation in the Aboriginal population. (I.E. Where I live.)
My Aboriginal neighbor for instance could actually pass as a tanned European.
Head up to Central Australia though, the place where Europeans tend to combust into a ball of flames from the Sun... And thus there having been less of a European influence, it's more common for Aboriginals to retain their extremely dark complexion, not always as there is still some mixing from those Aboriginals with other Aboriginals of lighter complexion.
Australia and Brazil are very much different countries though, not just ethnically, but environmentally, immigration/colonialism as well.

You can? So my friend who grew up in Iceland and had a German father an Indonesian mother, and looks more Native American than anything else. You could tell his ancestry is German and Indonesian by his photo? You'd be the first. I have another friend whose skin tone is significantly darker than his brother who has the same mother and father as him. You wouldn't even know they're brothers just by looking at them they look so dissimilar.
This is why a sample size of one is absolutely terrible.

Of course modern influences have muddied the water which I have alluded to. Did you miss that part or something?
But if you disagree with the science that I have presented, the onus is on you to provide a better source.
Aka. "Put up or Shut up".

No I didn't ignore it, because literally everyone has mixed heritage if you trace their family tree back far enough. It's a silly point.

And I acknowledged that people who have a mixed heritage is a common occurrence because of modern influences.

Yep we are very different countries and just last year I discovered that Australia is the 6th bigger country in land (although still not that high on population).
I believe that the main reason for several indigenous tribes in Brazil to haven't been found yet or living almost untouched is the dense forest.
