"Where are you from?" a character asks Babe, the hapless protagonist of Firesign Theatre's classic comedy album How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All, at one point. "Nairobi, ma'am," responds Babe. "Isn't everyone?" That memorable line, like most of that psychedelic radio troupe's apparent nonsense, contains a truth: trace human history back far enough and you'll inevitably end up in east Africa, a point illustrated in reverse by the video above, which traces humanity's march from 200,000 BCE to the present day.

To a dramatic soundtrack that opens and closes with Hans Zimmer music, video creator Ollie Bye charts humanity's progress out of Africa and, eventually, into every corner of all the world's continents.

Real, documented settlements, cities, empires, and entire civilizations rise and fall as if in a computer game, with a constantly updated global population count and list of active civilizations in the current year, as well as occasional notes about politics and diplomacy, society and culture, and inventions and discoveries.

All that happens in under 20 minutes, a pretty quick pace, though the world does not take the political shape we know today until the very end, including the latecomer to civilization that is the United States of America. Many of Bye's other videos focus on the history of other parts of the world, such as India, the British Isles, and the African continent, the cradle of our species, all of which we can now gain first-hand familiarity with in this age of unprecedented human mobility. Though the condition itself complicates the question "Where are you from?" to a level unknown not only millennia ago, but also centuries, centuries, and even decades ago, at least you now have a snappy answer at the ready.
