Ok, then we settled who gets Australia.

Sorry for shifting the goalposts now, but we still need a method to determine what to do with the rest of the earth, right? Who gets to stay in the different parts of Europe for example?

"We" haven't settled anything .. neither of us is an expert or player in the domain of indigenuous land ownership.

Your "assertion" (weakly stated) was

> I’m pretty sure every tribe that’s considered indigenous now at any place has replaced some other group that lived there before them.

which is _false_.

A single counter example suffices, the Māori people of New Zealand are still in a shared treaty with European settlers and no prior humans were displaced by the Māori people when they first arrived circe 1320 or so.

Australia and that region offer up many many other examples.

I cannot see how this is related to your global assertion nor can I see how I'm responsible to answer it.
