Conclusion: Originating in the A-G linguistic subgroup;
A-G subgroup % Dev. Chain
Koala in indigenous languages 80% (A; G; U; R, N)
Cave 68% (A; G; O, U)
The earliest is NAAGUN (Wiradjuri) at 50%. Rising to a peak at 30% before declining at 20% and then rising at 10%. That Cave originates in this same linguistic subgroup is interesting.
The prospect that our first cave could be in Australia or populated by Australian indigenous migrating north into Asia becomes a possibility.
