This project aims to provide a detailed understanding on the remarkably complex encounters between archaic and modern human populations in Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia during the Pleistocene. The project plans to provide the largest collection of human genetic diversity from this vast geographical region and significantly advance current knowledge on one of the most intriguing questions in human evolution. These insights are expected to bring important social and cultural benefits for Australia by unveiling the singularly deep genetic history of Aboriginal Australians, including their ancient connection to indigenous communities from Indonesia and New Guinea that extends back to when people first arrived in Australia.

该项目旨在详细了解更新世期间东南亚岛屿，新几内亚和澳大利亚的古代和现代人口之间非常复杂的遭遇。该项目计划提供来自这一广阔地理区域的人类遗传多样性的最大集合，并大大推进人类进化中最有趣的问题之一的现有知识。这些见解有望为澳大利亚带来重要的社会和文化利益，揭示澳大利亚原住民独特而深刻的遗传历史，包括他们与印度尼西亚和新几内亚土著社区的古老联系，可以追溯到人们首次抵达澳大利亚的时候。
