About 90% of Aboriginal communities today speak languages belonging to the “Pama-Nyungan” linguistic family. The study finds that all of these people are descendants of the founding population which diverged from the Papuans 37,000 years ago, then diverged further into genetically isolated communities.
This, however, throws up a long-established paradox. Language experts are adamant that Pama-Nyungan languages are much younger, dating back 4,000 years, and coinciding with the appearance of new stone technologies in the archaeological record.
Australia’s Indigenous peoples are two distinct cultural groups made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. But there is great diversity within these two broadly described groups exemplified by the over 250 different language groups spread across the nation.
The largest Aboriginal communities – the Pitjantjatjara, the Arrernte, the Luritja and the Warlpiri – are all from Central Australia. Throughout the history of the continent, there have been many different Aboriginal groups, each with its own individual language, culture, and belief structure.
if these communities were completely isolated from each other and the rest of the world – they ended up sharing a language family that is much younger? The traditional answer has been that there was a second migration into Australia 4,000 years ago, by people speaking this language.
so the conclusion all aboriginals belonging to the “Pama-Nyungan” linguistic family came later to Australia than original natives and claim of current aboriginals is Fake.
These intrepid travellers, who must have braved forbidding environmental barriers, were small in number, but had a significant, sweeping impact on the continent’s culture.
If 90% of Aboriginal communities today speak languages belonging to the “Pama-Nyungan” linguistic family then mahority migrated only 4000 years back not 50,000 years back as claimed earlier.
If language is 4000 years old then current aboriginals killed earlier settlers and flourished, so there were other settlement which is older and long gone. and its clear proof that current aboriginals arrived only 4,000 years back not the owner of Australia as they claim now.
