More about the book
The book presents a comprehensive evaluation of the Proto-Australian hypothesis, asserting that most Australian languages share a common ancestor, Proto-Australian (PA). Through historical linguistics methodologies, the authors demonstrate that nearly all Australian languages derive from PA, which was spoken in a limited region. The work challenges existing theories on language spread in hunter-gatherer societies, raising important questions for the understanding of Australian prehistory and broader implications for hunter-gatherer language evolution and migration patterns.
