A four-panel SMBC comic, each panel headed by a profession label. Panel 1, ANTHROPOLOGIST: a Black man with glasses points a stick at a map and says human groups headed north, driven out by intertribal violence. Panel 2, CLIMATOLOGIST: a person with curly hair points to a rising chart and says the mass migration was prompted by rapidly rising sea levels. Panel 3, PALEOBIOLOGIST: a person in a red shirt points at a map and says the group moved on every hundred years because by then they had wiped out every tasty animal larger than a goat. Panel 4, PERSON WHO HAS NEVER LEFT OWN COUCH: a long-red-haired, bearded man slouches on a red couch eating snacks from a bowl and declares, 'Humans are natural born explorers.' The joke contrasts experts' grim explanations for human migration with a couch-bound man's romantic notion of innate human wanderlust. Votey aftercomic: a figure hunches at a desk beneath a framed picture, with the words 'Good, good.'
