印度的人类进化对第一批澳大利亚人的起源有着重要的影响，并将有助于理解我们共同的和最近的共同祖先以及人类多样性的出现。该项目表明，澳大利亚致力于了解现代人类的起源，并解决我们地理区域内外的研究问题。当澳大利亚的考古创新应用于全球问题时，将展示澳大利亚的科学专长和成就。该项目的国际合作性质表明澳大利亚大学正在从事高知名度的研究。该项目还将培养高质量的研究生，并创造新的合作倡议。

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.
