I suspect a lot of this was just tribes breaking off into smaller tribes for whatever reason and then hiking like 20-100 miles down a river cuz fuck living next to your in-laws!

Not a bad alt-history idea, what if most of humanity stayed put in Africa, save for a isolated nomadic tribes, and central Africa just became this densely populated ancient mega civilization?

I dont doubt that there wasnt an Einstein living in the pre-stone age but damn its crazy to think that some cave man didnt just predict where the sun was going to perfectly shine downward or some shit.

or one tribe doing well and needing more land, so they split and some of the kids move 20-30km over. do that for generations and you can cover the earth pretty quick, especially along coastlines
