@gutenberg_org Nothing there about when the First Peoples of Australia arrived from Africa some 120,000 years ago. That would stretch the Histomap for a few feet more.
@DjityDjity @gutenberg_org yeap, also nothing on early south americans. So it's not "all the history of the world - really all of it", it's more of a "the entire history of the world known by ocidental scholars" maybe?
