Haeckel's sketch of human migrations





In 1868 Ernst Haeckel published The history of Creation (originally in German). The book included this interesting map, showing the migration of human "races" from a monophyletic origin somewhere in the... "Paradise?". This is a picture of the French edition from 1874. The title of the plate is :"A hypothetical sketch of the origin and distribution throughout the Earth of the twelve races of Man from Lemuria".
