Human evolution in India has significant implications for the origins of the first Australians, and will contribute to understanding our shared and recent common ancestry and the emergence of human diversity. This project demonstrates that Australia is committed to understanding the origins of modern humans and solving research problems within and beyond our geographic region. Australian archaeological innovations, when applied to global issues, will showcase Australian scientific expertise and achievements. The international collaborative nature of the project demonstrates Australian universities are engaged in high-profile research. The project will also train high-quality research students and create new collaborative initiatives.
