You can strongly see the cultural influence of Islam in Turkiye, North African and Pakistan.

Also in the US blue looks correlated with larger latinx populations, matching the much bluer populations in central and South america.

It also looks like more extreme climate weakly selects for more gender segregation - look at the more barren southern parts of South America, far north Canada, Scandinavia - but the effect of culture is clearly stronger.

Totally fucking up has zero consequences when there is no competition and you can afford the lobbyists to keep it that way.

The inclusion of say, Hatti, Ugaritic or Udmurt seem like odd choices to me when Na-Dene is absent. The entire PNW of the US is missing, and that was one of the world’s hot spots of linguistic diversity before colonialism.

Plus if the languages of Papua New Guinea can be condensed into a single Trans-PNG line, Australian aboriginal languages could just be put in a single line as well, surely.

There will have to be individual languages missing, for sure. But all North American languages families and all Australian languages families seems like glaring omission. Almost all Siberian language families are missing too.
