Summary:
- This article discusses new genetic evidence that supports the long-held belief that Aboriginal Australians have been living in the Sahul region (which includes Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea) for at least 65,000 years.
- The research analyzed DNA samples from ancient Aboriginal remains and found that the ancestors of modern Aboriginal Australians have been living in the Sahul region continuously for over 65,000 years, making them one of the oldest continuous cultures in the world.
- This genetic evidence provides further support for the rich and ancient history of Aboriginal Australians and their deep connection to the land they have inhabited for millennia.
