DNA confirms coastal trek to Australia (http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_articles/australian_aborigines_were_once_indians_study)
New genetic research in BMC Evolutionary Biology found telltale mutations in modern-day Indian populations that are exclusively shared by Aborigines. The new study indicates that Australian Aborigines initially arrived via south Asia.
Dr Raghavendra Rao worked with a team of researchers from the Anthropological Survey of India to sequence 966 complete mitochondrial DNA genomes from Indian 'relic populations'. He said, "Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother and so allows us to accurately trace ancestry. We found certain mutations in the DNA sequences of the Indian tribes we sampled that are specific to Australian Aborigines. This shared ancestry suggests that the Aborigine population migrated to Australia via the so-called 'Southern Route'."
Im sorry Feather or Dot ?? ....Im sorry thats insensitive

I could never accept the inhabitants of the Indian sub-continent being 'kin' as a number who have had the affrontery to claim. I believe all Indians were once Aboriginies and they migrated north, not south.
One such 'relic population':

An Indian helicopter dropping food and water over the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands has been attacked by tribesmen using bows and arrows.
