I love how racists think that before the 19th century people stayed in ONE place on earth at all times and NEVER moved. The only time humans moved was when the continents were connected by land bridges and then after that they got racist in the 1400s and told Africans no admittance.
travel took an incredibly long time and was super uncomfortable and dangerous, but we have evidence of like neolithic pottery being traded vast distances.
If coconuts can emigrate to Hawai'i on their own, then people can cross the gibraltar strait
people have always moved around for various reasons. and then they fucked.
Nah that's historically inacurrate, I should know I've played the withcer
How'd they do that?

Yeah, some people have that exploration demon in them, and wanna see the world. People were still people then, just like today.
There are flint tools on Crete that suggest that Neanderthals were sailing on the Mediterranean Sea 130,000 years ago! Which is pretty bonkers.
And travel was sometimes just a necessity, since before mechanised agriculture we were way more vulnerable to periodic changes in climate.
Goods can travel across the entire world through trade without any individual person needing to travel further than the next village. The same applies to genes which is only one of many reasons why it's ridiculous to treat other humans like they are some kind of alien species.
