Fucking cool map, thanks for sharing this.
Might as well share a few related ones:
That dark grey family is Quechuan, and the magenta one is Aymaran. I don't know why they aren't shown in the first map; perhaps to make other families a bit more visible?
God, the names list on that South America map is barely readable. Maybe my eyesight is going.
Regardless, thank you for sharing, the maps themselves are great!
Check it again - I edited the pic to include a white background. It should be easier to read now.
Much better, thank you!
With pleasure. Thank you for the additions.
Even the indigenous knew that west coast is the best coast.
Or you know, their ancestors migrated from the across Pacific (not like those wimps who barely made it across Atlantic and thought they landed in India lmao)
