@peupeubangbang Thank you for your term request. Could you please provide a reference for the relevant genetic reference population?

[daniwelter]

@peupeubangbang Following up from my query regarding a relevant reference population. This is particularly important to justify a reclassification of Aboriginial Australian under Oceanian, since we have known reference populations for the former but not for the latter (unless you can also indicate one?).

This request has been placed on hold until we have had a chance to fully review the literature for the latest state of the art in genetic evidence for Australian and Oceanian indigenous populations, as well as consult with experts in this area. If you would like to supply further evidence in support of this request, please comment here. If you would like to join the discussion in an active manner, please supply contact details so we can set up a call.
