    Fun fact: it is in discussion if the human expansion to the Americas occured first from Asia to North America (+/- 30k years ago), or from Africa to South America (+/- 50k years ago). Stlements and other discoveries started the debate, and among them is the "Serra da Capivara National Park", a world heritage site declared by UNESCO.
    Also, the people who expanded to Madagascar first weren't in Africa. They sailed from Indonesia through the favorable currents of the sea, and then some people in Africa went there. That's why the linguistic group of the indigenous people of Madagascar is the same as the ones in Indonesia, and the genetic pool resembles other african groups

      Sapiens have not only been around for at least 315,000 years, but were already traversing the Sahara at that time. Pervious theories suggested that Sapiens are of eastern African origin, but that’s now held to be in some doubt. Sapiens are now said to have emerged in sub-Saharan Africa in general, since they were constantly moving across the whole of that part of the continent, making it impossible to pin-down any exact place of origin more specific than that.

    If you want to learn more about our ancestors who lived 10,000 years ago and earlier, I recommend an excellent anthropologist named Stanislav Drobyshevsky. Unfortunately, he conducts lectures and records popular science videos only in Russian, and I do not know if this material has been translated into English. However, there is always a "subtitles" button, the main thing is to find a video where the sound quality is good. In addition to an interesting and understandable presentation, he also dilutes the lectures with jokes. I'll give you a couple of them:
    - "More often a bear examines a person's coccyx than the other way around."
    - "Turning legs into flippers and bodies into a fat skin does not contribute to the development of intelligence."
    - "The Mesozoic was generally marked by some kind of rabies of devouring. It is clear that living creatures have been eating each other since the Precambrian, but in the Mesozoic everything went completely off the rails."

      Yup, thats one thing they don't seem to tesch well in schools. Just a simple population graph would blow our minds at how all throughout human history the population was relatively stable and climbed very very slowly and mostly remaining the same. Then, it wasn't until the 1,500s we saw some decent population growth - but it took 100 to 200 years for it to actually grow a bit, then between 1750 - 1900 the world finally saw some good growth from just under 1 billion people in the world to around 1.5 billion people in the world! So .5 times more people or a growth of 50% in 200 years - a new record!
      Then starting in the year 1900 to 2023, the world saw the largest population incease AND fastest rate of increase in the entire worlds history.
      We went from around 1.5 billion people to 8 billion people in a matter of about 100 years. Whoch os like an increase of almost 800% in ONLY 100 years !!!! Which is a staggering increase compared to the previous record of 50% increase between 1750 & 1900.
      I don't think people realize just how insane that population increase is - and they especially dont comprehend the rate of increase in population and just how fast and recent it was.
      This is why its so difficult to compare modern behaviors and social norms to the historical norms. The world and society is just fundamentally different based off the population size and rate of increase inherently. Humans throughout history have never had soany choices for mates, or opportunities for jobs or such big & close social connections that cities offer. Sure there was big cities like london back in the day, but it was nothing like how it is now.
      This is why modern societies have soooo many problems that just simply did not exist in the past - because there just wasn't as many people back then, so societies & economies worked completely differently.

    there are traces of homo-sapiens in Brittany and Aquitania that date back from 70 000 BCE.. In South Wales and Cornwall in 40 000 BCE (although no presence found between 34 000 BCE and 11 000 BCE)

      In other words, putting Africa on the far left and America on the far right means we can our spread from left to right in one shot without needing to wrap around the edge. Until _very_ recently the Atlantic was a major barrier while the land-bridge across Alaska meant a pacific route was there early on.
      This view is the classic view for European maps, which were drawn when Transatlantic expansion was the new big thing; but in terms of human expansion across all history, putting the Alaska bridge middle-right makes more sense since Transatlantic crossing is an ocean-jump anyways

    It’s wild how successful we were even before we had any advanced tools to help us. There’s really very few other non insects that spread all around the world, especially tropical species. We’re the most successful species since Lystrosaurus.
