Sure, but those cultures didn't generally travel the world forever. They just weren't tied to their land via agriculture so they roamed with the climate and the ecosystem dynamics. It's not like nomadic cultures went continent hopping
Isn't "continent hopping" exactly how humans ended up in the Americas to begin with?
No. Human migration is not "traveling the world forever" in this context. There's a huge difference between going to Argentina this summer for a few months and then popping over the Colombia for a weekend before heading to France for a jazz festival and staying another couple of weeks before heading to Cologne for the weekend and then the real fun going to Zimbabwe and doing some safari.
True, but I still think that travel should be more accessible, not less.
