What I want to know is whether this wave is post- or pre- Toba "bottleneck".

I always thought that Papuans and Aborigines were remnants of pre-bottleneck populations and the other races of the area later post bottleneck arrivals.

But this analysis has the migration occuring 5000 years AFTER the Toba eruption. Are they saying ALL the pre-Toba humans in Southeast Asia and Australia wiped out by Toba?

It sounds to me like they're saying the first wave of migrants moved into that region after Toba. But that's totally wrong, I think (at least from what little I know about it).
