The ANU’s Evolution of Cultural Diversity Initiative (ECDI) has been established as a hub for trans-disciplinary research. The Initiative will adapt and apply methodological and theoretical advances from a spread of disciplinary fields in the sciences and humanities
and apply these to a wide range of case studies in order to understand the evolution of cultural diversity – primarily in northern Australia and its immediate Melanesian neighbours, but with global application. The central aim of the Initiative is to understand
the drivers and processes underpinning the full span of human history in the Asia-Pacific region, from initial human settlement through to the contemporary present. </p>
