Scaled estimates of divergence times (T) and migration rates (M1 and M2) for Negrito groups and indigenous Australians with observed genetic associations. Analyses were based on Y-STR haplotype data (7 Y-STRs) using the IM program.28 Divergence times are in units of years while population migration rates (M1: from Negrito groups to Australian groups and M2: from Australian groups to Negrito groups) indicate the effective rate at which genes come into a population per generation. Credible intervals are in parenthesis. Posterior distributions for these parameter estimates (t, m1 and m2) are shown in Supplementary Figure 4.
