The human journey across the globe is one of our greatest achievements, yet the archaeological evidence for the earliest migrations is poorly dated, plagued by uncertainty and often overlooked. This project aims to characterise the nature of early human dispersals across Asia en route to Australasia by going beyond the timing and identification of human evidence to explore their behaviour, health and adaptability. Reconsidering early migrations within their environmental context will allow an assessment of their feasibility and address the disparity between the genetic and physical evidence. By elucidating the story of the greatest human journey we will develop a new understanding and appreciation of our survival and adaption capabilities.

人类穿越地球的旅程是我们最伟大的成就之一，然而，最早的移民的考古证据年代不佳，受到不确定性的困扰，而且经常被忽视。该项目旨在通过超越人类证据的时间和识别来探索他们的行为、健康和适应能力，从而表征早期人类在前往澳大拉西亚的途中在亚洲各地扩散的性质。在环境背景下重新考虑早期移徙将能够评估其可行性，并解决遗传证据和实物证据之间的差异。通过阐明人类最伟大旅程的故事，我们将对我们的生存和适应能力产生新的理解和欣赏。
