Australia discovered by ‘Southern Route’, reveals genetic analysis
The evidence was disocvered by Dr Raghavendra Rao,You are not allowed to view links.

The genetic evidence of this dispersal from the work of Rao and his colleagues is supported by archeological evidence of human occupation in the Lake Mungo area of Australia dated to approximately the same time period.
“Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother and so allows us to accurately trace ancestry. We found certain mutations in the DNA sequences of the Indian tribes we sampled that are specific to Australian Aborigines,” said Dr Rao.
Discussing the implications of the research, Dr Rao said, “Human evolution is usually understood in terms of millions of years. This direct DNA evidence indicates that the emergence of ‘anatomically modern’ humans in Africa and the spread of these humans to other parts of the world happened only fifty thousand or so years ago.”
This shared ancestry suggests that the Aborigine population migrated to Australia via the so-called ‘Southern Route’.

For the research, the team sequenced 966 complete mitochondrial DNA genomes from Indian ‘relic populations’.

The ‘Southern Route’ dispersal of modern humans suggests movement of a group of hunter-gatherers from the Horn of Africa, across the mouth of the Red Sea into Arabia and southern Asia at least 50 thousand years ago.
Washington, July 22 (ANI): Genetic research conducted by a team of Indian scientists has indicated that aborigines initially arrived in Australia via south Asia, or the ‘Southern Route’.
