> But surely, the different tribes in Australia also moved around and replaced each other?

Read article, chase up the papers, evidence says "no".

The Tasmanians and the Noongars (Southern most to east, southern most to west) have genetically been in place a long time and had no one to replace.

The article mentions "genetic diversity" between east, west, centre, north, south, etc - that comes from not mixing.

"But surely..." <-- gut feelings? You should joinn Quadrant.
