Does that take into account the relative lack of mixing among populations in different continents until recently?

Yea, a pure Native American doesn't share a mother with an Aboriginal Australian in 1250 AD lol.

Happy cake day!

Just a tip: the term "Aborigine" (that's how it's spelt, fwiw) is no longer preferred, and is often regarded as offensive. "Aboriginal Australian" or "Indigenous" are preferred instead.
