This biogeographical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “World map of prehistoric human migrations.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

This biogeographical map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.

World map of human migrations, with the North Pole at center. Made in 2005.

Africa, harboring the start of the migration, is at the top left and South America at the far right. Migration patterns are based on studies of mitochondrial (matrilinear) DNA. Dashed lines are hypothetical migrations.

Numbers represent thousand years before present.

The blue line represents area covered in ice or tundra during the last great ice age.

The letters are the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups (pure motherly lineages); Haplogroups can be used to define genetic populations and are often geographically oriented. For example, the following are common divisions for mtDNA haplogroups:

• African: L, L1, L2, L3
• Near Eastern: J, N
• Southern European: J, K
• General European: H, V
• Northern European: T, U, X
• Asian: A, B, C, D, E, F, G (note: M is composed of C, D, E, and G)
• Native American: A, B, C, D, and sometimes X
• The letters I, J, K shown in Europe are apparently included by mistake, as they refer to Y-DNA haplogroups.

The dashed path for X, stopping in Iceland, gestures at the "Solutrean hypothesis", an idea discussed in the popular media at the time the map was made but mostly discredited since.

Data derivation

• Image:Northern icesheet hg.png shows the region that was covered by ice or tundra in the last ice age

• All migration data based on mitomap.
• Geographic data from File:Last glacial vegetation map.png
• and adding the following data File:Ice Age Temperature.png we get this interesting result File:Human-migration-temperature.jpg
