Analysis of up to 100,000-year-old DNA promises to throw new light on some of today's most intriguing questions.

Do the Tasmanian Devil's ancestors hold genetic clues to halting the voracious devil facial tumour disease? Was the iconic Dodo really just a big pigeon? Can the lone sailor recovered from the HMAS Sydney finally bring closure to his living relatives?

The first lecture in the 2009 series will bring this fascinating field of discovery to life.

Dr Jeremy Austin is Deputy Director at the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA.
