Question: The mulga apple is is often eaten by people who genetic research has inferred a date of habitation as early as when?

 The time of arrival of the first Indigenous Australians is a matter of debate among researchers.  The earliest definitely human remains found in Australia are those of Mungo Man LM3 and Mungo Lady, which have been dated to around 50,000 years BP.  Recent archaeological evidence from the analysis of charcoal and artifacts revealing human use has pushed this date back further to around 65,000 B.P. Luminescence dating has suggested habitation in Arnhem Land as far back as 60,000 years BP.  Genetic research has inferred a date of habitation as early as 80,000 years BP. Indigenous Australians are the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia, descended from groups that existed in Australia and surrounding islands prior to British colonisation. <SEP> The mulga apple is an Australian bush tucker food, often eaten by Aborigines of Central Australia. <SEP> After receiving her Ph.D. Slagboom joined the Department of Vascular and Connective Tissues Research at the Gaubius Laboratory, (TNO-PG, The Netherlands).  As a post doc she initiated a unit for genetic epidemiological studies aimed at the identification of genetic determinants of multifactorial diseases.  Slagboom started between 1995 and 1997 a genetic research line on osteoarthritis (OA) including linkage studies in families with early onset OA, genetic association studies in population cohorts and linkage studies in populations of affected sibling-pairs.  From 1998 on, Slagboom, in collaboration with research groups at different universities, obtained various grants that allowed initiation of a genotyping facility for genome scanning at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO).  In 2000, Slagboom was appointed as professor of molecular epidemiology at the Leiden University Medical Center.  She established a new section of Molecular Epidemiology and Genotyping Center at the department of Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics.  Slagboom has initiated a masterclass for Statistical Analysis of Genetic Data and Bioinformatics in Genomic Research and is involved in various teaching activities. <SEP> Genetic Alliance is a nonprofit organization, founded in 1986 by Joan O. Weiss, working with Victor A. McKusick, to advocate for health benefits in the accelerating field of genomic research.  This organization is a network of over 1,000 disease advocacy organizations, universities, government organizations, private companies, and public policy organizations.  They aim to advance genetic research agendas toward health benefit by engaging a broad range of stakeholders, including healthcare providers, researchers, industry professionals, public policy leaders, as well as individuals, families and communities.  They create programs using a collaborative approach, and aim to increase efficiency and reduce obstacles in genetic research, while ensuring that voices from the involved disease communities are heard.  They also promote public policies to advance healthcare.  Genetic Alliance provides technical support and informational resources to guide disease-specific advocacy organizations in being their own research advocates.  They also maintain a biobank as a central storage facility for several organizations who otherwise would not have the infrastructure to maintain their own repository.
