  A Great animation, showing the spread of humans across the globe (something like a troublesome rash spreading over your body).

  Then, on to the gradual poltiticisation of humanity. Interesting to watch the animated hi-speed spread of the Mongol Empire, which scared the sh*t out of Europe.

  The animation doesn't show religious brands (except Islam, which was both a religious brand and a political brand).

  But if you watch the general Palestine area you'll realise that YHWH and his JESUS sidekick, are a piddly little nothing until the Eastern and Western Roman Empires decide to spread their poison.

  How cool! Love it. I'm actually going to use if (with permission, of course) for a course I'm designing.

  Population increases over the last 30 years are alarming when projected into the next 30. Something has to give. JW solution is to cut 8 billion down to 8 million in one shot.

  I like this. I especially enjoyed the explosion of the Mongol Empire, the early Viking expansion into North America, and early African and pre-Colombian civilisations.

  It must have taken an enormous amount of time and effort, and involved countless judgments that could be debated endlessly, no doubt.
