Human populations are (bio) living things
humans 10,000.. even 2,000 years ago moved about with similar limitations as other animals... just more adaptable... and particular human cultures were part of particular environments (they didn't do as well outside of their environment unless they adapted.)
Movement across deserts was rare and across, rather than around, oceans was basically impossible.
Yes it happened I'm well aware of Sahara trade routes... but those were trade routes rather than continuous movements of large numbers of people.
The Sahara separates Carthage from Mali more than the Mediterranean separates Carthage from Rome.
Overall, SubSaharan Africa is more distinct from North Africa than North Africa is from Eurasia (particularly Middle East)
@Schuesseled
ignoring your misspelling, it IS a real word, and while it is based on non-human organisms.. see above.
north africa may be similar to eurasia, but so is america, jsut because its similar doesn't mean it should be called it.
eurasia is the prehidtoric landmass of europe and asia, before thye became more seperated, and africa wasn't part of it.
