States & Provinces
Population histories and migration patterns at the state and provincial level.
Coming Soon
States and provinces are the next frontier for Peopling Earth. Population history plays out at every geographic scale — from the continent-wide dispersals that defined our species to the provincial boundaries that shaped language, culture, and identity over centuries.
We are building detailed entries for historically significant states and provinces across every continent — from the ancient provinces of the Roman Empire and the states of pre-colonial West Africa to the US states shaped by the Great Migration and the Indian states that preserve extraordinary linguistic diversity.
If you have a suggestion for a state or province you would like to see covered, we would love to hear from you.
