discovery of novel mutations have significantly altered the M31 and M32 phylogenies, providing important additional fine structure. Of special significance are the two sub-clades of M31a1 defined by A90617G (M31a1a) and A13710G (M31a1b), which are separated both geographically and culturally, being broadly contiguous with speakers of the Greater Andamanese (GA) and Onge-Jarawa (On/Ja) dialects, respectively.
