Original post on c.im

Good discussion here of the peopling of #Sahul by a 'long chronology', that is reaching New Guinea and Australia by 60,000 years.

Previous data showing Aus and PNG populations carry the signature of Neanderthal interbreeding (some 55-50 Kya in the Middle East) suggests the 'chronology' was more […]

The new study has confirmed there were two migration routes into Sahul around 60,000 years ago. Helen Farr and Erich Fisher, CC BY-NC-SA

[8/8] Les auteurs prévoient d’affiner ces datations grâce aux génomes complets, soit 3 milliards de bases contre 16.500 pour l’ADN mitochondrial. L’objectif est de consolider les modèles de dispersion et d’éclairer les dynamiques du peuplement ancien. #history #migration #archaeogenetics #Sahul

When did people first arrive in Australasia? New archaeogenetics study dates it to 60,000 years ago New research confirms humans first reached the Sahul super-continent by two different routes around 60,000 years ago.

[1/8] L’article de Martin B. Richards (University of Huddersfield) montre que les premiers humains sont arrivés en Sahul il y a 60.000 ans. L’équipe croise ADN ancien, chronologies archéologiques et modélisations migratoires pour dater ces dispersions. #history #migration #archaeogenetics #Sahul

The First Horizon: How Ancient Genomes Redraw the Story of Australia’s Earliest Peoples New genetic evidence strengthens the case for a much earlier and more complex human arrival in Sahul.

New genomic evidence suggests humans reached Sahul around 60,000 years ago via two distinct routes. The findings highlight early seafaring, deep population roots, and complex migrations shaping Indigenous Australian and Papuan ancestry. #Anthropology #Archaeogenetics #Sahul #HumanOrigins

DNA study provides 'almost perfect correlation' for first Australians' arrival A new genetic study has found Indigenous Australians travelled via two distinct routes about 60,000 years ago to reach the ancient landmass that would become Australia.

The DNA Clock Versus the Red Sands: Rethinking the Peopling of Sahul Genetic timelines challenge the 65,000-year-old human arrival in Australia, but archaeology isn't folding

A genetic challenge to archaeology sparks fresh debate over when humans first reached Australia. Does DNA trump stone tools? Or does the archaeological record hold its ground? #HumanEvolution #Archaeology #AncientDNA #Australia #Sahul #Neanderthal #OutOfAfrica

Sea level rise drowned a vast habitable area of north-western Australia driving long-term cultural change For most of the period of human occupation of Sahul (the combined Pleistocene landmass of Australia and New Guinea), lower sea levels exposed an exten…

AUSTRALASIA: “The presence of an extensive archipelago on the Northwest Shelf…facilitated the successful dispersal of the first maritime explorers from #Wallacea …to the vast terrestrial continent of #Sahul.”

It was an absolute honour to have contributed a small part to this work, an important contribution to understanding the formation and preservation of combustion features in Late Pleistocene open sites in Australia and globally. #microstratigraphy #geoarchaeology #Sahul
