Science 308:1034-6. 2005..There was an early offshoot, leading ultimately to the settlement of the Near East and Europe, but the main dispersal from India to Australia approximately 65,000 years ago was rapid, most likely taking only a few thousand years... - High-resolution mtDNA evidence for the late-glacial resettlement of Europe from an Iberian refugiumLuisa Pereira
