Instructions
A  new  study  has  revealed  that  Indigenous  Australians  are  the  most  genetically  diverse  people  in  the  world,  with  greater  genetic    than  between  people  of  European  or  Asian  ancestry.  The  study,  which  involved  analyzing  the  genomes  of  83  Indigenous  Australians  from    the  continent,  also  pushed  back  the    of  genetic  separation  between  people  in  Papua  New  Guinea  and  those  in  Australia  to  about  37,000  years  ago.  The  researchers,  led  by  Professor  David  Reich  from  Harvard  Medical  School,  said  that  the  findings  shed  light  on  the  ancient  history  and  diversity  of  Indigenous  Australian  peoples,  who  were    up  of  at  least  200  distinct  nations  before  colonization.  They  also  said  that  the  study  could  help  improve  the  health  and  well-being  of  Indigenous  Australians,  who  suffer  from  higher  rates  of  chronic  diseases  and  lower  life    than  non-Indigenous  Australians.
