The origins of Australia's non-Pama-Nyungan speaking people

该项目旨在测试在欧洲人到来之前多次移民到澳大利亚的可能性，并确定非帕马-尼根语之间的系统发育关系是否反映了说这些语言的人的基因组系统发育关系。澳大利亚的非帕玛-尼根原住民说的原住民语言的数量和多样性都非常惊人，但这些语言的起源和说这些语言的人的基因组多样性现在才开始被理解。帕玛-尼根语和他们的说话者的基因组多样性之间有着惊人的一致性。这项研究可以显示基因组是否改变了语言，或者反之亦然，或者它们是否随着时间的推移一起进化。

This project aims to test the likelihood of multiple migrations into Australia before European arrival and determine if the phylogenetic relationships among non-Pama-Nyungan languages is mirrored by their speakers’ genomic phylogenetic relationships. The non-Pama-Nyungan First People of Australia speak an extraordinary number and diversity of Aboriginal languages, but the origins of these languages and the genomic diversity of the people who speak them are only now starting to be understood. There is a remarkable concordance between the Pama-Nyungan languages and the genomic diversity of their speakers. This research could show whether genomes change languages or vice versa, or whether they evolve together over time.
