But perhaps more importantly: it's a reminder of how comparatively recent human expansion into most of Europe was. I'm more familiar with the arguments over the peopling of the Americas, which if anything may have happened earlier than shown here. But in that whole argument, I tend to forget that the whole range of estimates has people continuously present where I live now (NW North America) much longer than where I grew up (Britain).

I just want to rave for a minute about this world map of the spread of humans: https://vis.social/@infobeautiful/113527888543173510 (h/t @trochee )
First, it's a great use of the "Dymaxion" projection, which I don't often see in the wild, and rarer still without the distracting triangular cutouts of the ocean. I usually care too much about the oceans to want to use this one, but it's a good fit for the story being told here. (1/2)
Joachim repeated this.
