From ~1500 A.D. to ~1900 A.D., North America received vast numbers of migrants, which upsets the pattern. (South America got a few, too, but most of them went to N.A.)

The we have the Mongols, who flooded Central Asia and pushed the indigenous peoples into the Mideast and South Asia. ~1200 A.D., also breaks the pattern.
