Caption
Comparing the extent of human niche and potential malaria transmission risk through time. Upper panel shows the extent of the human niche (outlined in black) against the map of potential malaria transmission risk at 54, 16 and 8 thousand years ago; Lower panel shows the median of level of malaria risk in the area of human range (dark orange line) and outside the area of human range (dark blue line), including the uncertainty (interquartile, colour in transparency around the darker lines that shows median values). We can see that the level of malaria in the human niche is consistently lower than the areas avoided by humans.
