This project aims to further advance work on the genetic history of Indigenous Australians and Papuans that has revealed that Aboriginal Australians have inhabited a variety of diverse and challenging environments for approximately 50,000 years. Using novel techniques for extraction of human DNA from soil and the use of cutting-edge graph-based methods, hundreds of Indigenous Australian and Papuan genomes will be analysed. This project expects to generate new knowledge by filling in the gaps in the Australian genetic record via ancient human DNA from sediments. Expected outcomes from this project are producing a detailed picture of genomic adaptation in Indigenous Australians and Papuans and creating a comprehensive genetic history of the First Peoples of Sahul.

该项目旨在进一步推进关于澳大利亚土著人和巴布亚人遗传史的工作，这些遗传史揭示了澳大利亚土著人在各种不同和具有挑战性的环境中居住了大约50 000年。利用从土壤中提取人类DNA的新技术和使用基于图形的尖端方法，将分析数百个澳大利亚土著和巴布亚人的基因组。该项目希望通过沉积物中的古人类DNA填补澳大利亚遗传记录的空白，从而产生新的知识。该项目的预期成果是详细描述澳大利亚土著人和巴布亚人的基因组适应情况，并创建Sahul第一民族的全面遗传史。
