The aim of the project is to analyse genomic DNA from historic hair samples collected by anthropological expeditions in the early 20th century to generate a detailed genetic map of Aboriginal Australia and to reconstruct Australia’s pre-European genetic history. The genomic data and detailed contextual and genealogical information from museum archives will be used to work with Aboriginal individuals to trace past population movements and augment oral historical records. The project aims to reconstruct the first detailed genomic history of indigenous Australia, including adaptation to the challenging Australian environment, and to generate important information for indigenous communities and the Australian public more widely.

该项目的目的是从20世纪初人类学探险队收集的历史头发样本中分析基因组DNA，以生成澳大利亚土著人的详细遗传图谱，并重建澳大利亚在欧洲之前的遗传史。来自博物馆档案的基因组数据和详细的背景和家谱信息将用于与土著个人合作，追踪过去的人口流动并增加口述历史记录。该项目旨在重建澳大利亚土著第一次详细的基因组历史，包括对具有挑战性的澳大利亚环境的适应，并为土著社区和更广泛的澳大利亚公众提供重要信息。
