Map of 200,000 Years of Human Migration Recirculates

Original: This is an old-ish map (2013) but I love it enough to post it again. The human migration across the globe over the last

A 2013 world map charting human migration over the past 200,000 years, from origins in Africa through to South America, is being shared again online. The map uses the Fuller projection and has drawn attention for its sweeping depiction of humanity's global spread. Commenters note small omissions, such as Hawaii and Antarctica, but the overall response is appreciative, with many praising it as a favourite visualization of human history.

Why now: The striking visualization of humanity's ancient migration out of Africa continues to resonate as debates about migration remain prominent.
