DIG #6 What migration route have we learned about today that is NOT on this map and is not on the animated map at the top of the DIG ? The reason it is not on the map is because it is such a NEW idea that it was not even believed when these maps were fairly recently made. See how knowledge changes and grows ? One discovery at a time THAT is the life of a scientist. What now-proven ROUTE is missing from these maps ?
