Australian Abroginals

Australian Aborigines of Indian origin?

They Share Telltale Mutations With Modern-Day Indian Population, Reveals Genetic Research

July 23, 2009

Washington: Genetic research conducted by a team of
Indian scientists has indicated that aborigines, who
initially arrived in Australia via south Asia, may have
originated from India.

The evidence was found by Dr Raghavendra Rao, who worked
with a team of researchers from the Anthropological
Survey of India, to find telltale mutations in modern-day
Indian populations that are exclusively shared by
Aborigines.

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

"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 Rao.

This shared ancestry suggests that the Aborigine
population migrated to Australia via the so-called
"Southern Route".

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.
Subsequently, the modern human populations expanded
rapidly along the coastlines of southern Asia,
southeastern Asia and Indonesia to arrive in Australia at
least 45 thousand years ago.

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.
Discussing the implications of the research, 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."

"In this respect, populations in the Indian subcontinent
harbor DNA footprints of the earliest expansion out of
Africa," he added. "Understanding human evolution helps
us to understand the biological and cultural expressions
of these people, with far reaching implications for human
welfare," he added. ANI

Australian Aborigines Initially Arrived Via South Asia

ScienceDaily (July 21, 2009) -- Genetic research
indicates that Australian Aborigines initially arrived
via south Asia. Researchers have found telltale mutations
in modern-day Indian populations that are exclusively
shared by Aborigines.

Abstract (provisional)

Background

An early dispersal of biologically and behaviorally
modern humans from their African origins to Australia, by
at least 45 thousand years via southern Asia has been
suggested by studies based on morphology, archaeology and
genetics. However, mtDNA lineages sampled so far from
south Asia, eastern Asia and Australasia show non-
overlapping distributions of haplogroups within pan
Eurasian M and N macrohaplogroups. Likewise, support from
the archaeology is still ambiguous.

Results

In our completely sequenced 966-mitochondrial genomes
from 26 relic tribes of India, we have identified seven
genomes, which share two synonymous polymorphisms with
the M42 haplogroup, which is specific to Australian
Aborigines.

Conclusions

Our results showing a shared mtDNA lineage between
Indians and Australian Aborigines provides direct genetic
evidence of an early colonization of Australia through
south Asia, following the "southern route".

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluM...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<us...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years. -Updated on February 2, 2012-

"MICRONESIA MYSTERY

"On a tiny island of Micronesia lies one of archaeology
great mysteries -- the ruins of the ancient canal city of
Nan Madol (500 CE), home of 1,000 royal and elite
islanders. It is built of uncut stones weighing up to 50
tons on artificial islets bearing residences, meeting
houses, a palace, tombs, temples, baths and artificial
ponds. Basalt columns laid end-to-end extend half a mile
into the lagoon. Twelve vertical columns found planted
2,100 feet below the ocean's surface may be man-made.
Nan Madol disappeared in the 17th century. According to
archaeologist Prof. Ayres (University of Oregon) the
intricacy of the design suggests external cultural
influence, probably from Asia. This may give weight to
the theory that Hinduism once flourished deep into the
Pacific, as far as Hawaii."
