Banaras Hindu University has been included as a partner institution of the Griffith University’s ARC Centre of Excellence for Transforming Human Origins Research, which has been awarded a sum of 85 million USD over seven years (2026-2032). Griffith University is ranked among the top varsities of Australia, and its ARC Centre is funded by the Australian Research Council. This significant funding of USD $85 million is among one of the largest research initiatives in human evolutionary studies.
From BHU, Prof. Gyaneshwar Chaubey, Department of Zoology, will serve as a Partner Investigator in this Centre. His expertise in population genetics, ancient DNA, and demographic history of South Asian populations will be of significant importance to the project.
The Centre aims to transform our understanding of why and how our species, Homo sapiens, is the only one to survive. It mobilizes Indigenous, Global South, and Western expertise to examine under-researched regions in Africa, Asia, and Australia. This novel synthesis examines how we became a versatile, globally distributed species resilient to profound environmental changes over the last 300,000 years.
Expected outcomes include new scientific models and revisions to public education and policies about our history, our biological and cultural relationships to one another, and how we have reshaped ecosystems worldwide. Benefits include a transformed, ethically engaged study of human origins for the betterment of society.
Professor Michael Petraglia, Director of the Centre, emphasized the importance of the Indian subcontinent, stating that it has played a significant role in shaping Old World populations. He noted that this collaboration with BHU and other partners will be very useful to explore the human journey in greater detail.
The seven-year grant will foster high-quality collaborative research, facilitate student and researcher exchanges (with a strong emphasis on Global South participants), and support research capacity-building and facility development at partner institutions, including BHU.
BHU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ajit Kumar Chaturvedi said that “this partnership strengthens BHU’s commitment to excellence in life sciences, genetics, and interdisciplinary research on human origins and migration. It provides valuable opportunities for BHU students and faculty to engage in cutting-edge international projects addressing fundamental questions about humanity’s shared past”.
Banaras Hindu University, alongside Anna University (Chennai), represents India among the Centre’s participating organizations, which also include leading institutions from Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Europe, the UK, and several Indigenous organizations.
