Exploration into if the phylogenetic relationships among non-Pama-Nyungan languages is mirrored by their speakers' genomic phylogenetic relationships, to test the likelihood of multiple migrations into Australia before European arrival

This project aims to test the likelihood of multiple migrations into Australia before European arrival and determine if the phylogenetic relationships among non-Pama-Nyungan languages is mirrored by their speakers' genomic phylogenetic relationships. The non-Pama-Nyungan First People of Australia speak an extraordinary number and diversity of Aboriginal languages, but the origins of these languages and the genomic diversity of the people who speak them are only now starting to be understood.
