Here's an amazing (to me) animation of human migrations over the last 160,000 years. I knew the general outlines, but these details are very interesting:

Thank you so much for this!

What is absolutely astonishing to me, and probably shouldn't be, is that both North and South American were inhabited before human beings reached the British Isles. I tend to think of England as the repository of ancient history, part of The Old World, whereas the cultures in the Western Hemisphere were more ancient by far.

Fascinating...

Isn't that bizarre? It really struck me, too--and also that they'd get frozen out and then try again in the same direction later.
