      I assume the parts that remain grey (Br*tish Isles, New Zealand, etc) are populated by migrants that aren’t considered human?

      This map makes it so obvious: every single one of us is basically a distant cousin who got lost on a very long walk

      Looks like they really floored it when they hit the Americas? I would expect the opposite – whole new unsettled continent, may as well settle down in the first nice place you find.

      I guess it’s only the earliest settlements because there have been some back and forth.

      Not correct but it is pretty! Australia had humans 60k years ago (likely earlier).

      Would this make the native Americans the most distant relatives to modern African descendents? Genetically speaking that is.

      Can anyone explain to me, why we are sure that humanity started in Africa?

      Why didn’t the primates evolve to humans in other regions?

      The really interesting thing is that this is currently being reevaluated. It appears that there were multiple migrations of homonids out of Africa, and it may even be the case that we, homo sapiens, could have evolved in Europe and migrated back and forth. Genetic investigations of recently discovered remains is triggering a lot of reconsideration.

      Kind of surprising that Humans made it to Australia before China…

      …maybe a climate thing.

      Isn’t this simplified to the point of being incorrect? From what I understand there have been several migrations out of Africa and intermixing between different species of Homo in Europe and Asia as well. This map gives the impression that it’s been one continuous migration in just one direction away from Africa

      This map is innacurate according to discoveries made at least 20 years ago, humans reached South America before North America in a previous glacial era, travelling all the way from South Asia and Polinesia to reach the southern tip of South America. (Look for Monteverde)

      I didn’t realize Australia was settled before Europe. I guess Neanderthals were already in Europe, but modern humans got there a little later.

      Human migration actually continued for a lot longer through Micronesian into the south pacific ending in Hawaii c 900CE, Easter Island c 1000CE and New Zealand c 1200CE, nine millenia after chile and peru were settled.

      I suppose that wouldn’t have been as interesting a map.

      Aren’t Homo sapiens 300,000 years old? Jebel irhoud fossils were proven to be Homo sapiens as far as I know
