The map was drawn by HG Wells as part of a History of the whole world in 2 volumes
quote
At the end of the first World War, famed writer and futurist H. G. Wells embarked on a project to explain the entirety of human history in a single narrative flow. In 1920, the work was published as two bound volumes entitled The Outline of History. The History seems to have struck a chord with the reader of the day. With the horrors of the Great War still fresh in mind, and it’s consequences deeply effecting one’s daily life, perhaps an interpretive explanation of the arc that brought civilization to such a state was a comfort. Regardless of reasons, the book became quite popular and is in fact still in print

It's interesting to see these beautiful volumes online. I've got the 1920 versions which I used to flick through when my son was little because there are lovely illustrations and the narrative is non-technical. I don't see what is so controversial about the figure GR! reprinted. It just shows the relatedness of Europeans and the smaller branches which gave rise to the Ancient Greeks as we know from the Histories, and to the Teutons and Kelts (in my hardcopy extra figure). This extra figure in my version (which isn't in the online unfortunately), suggests the Hellenic tribes also migrated further towards the Hittites, Lydians and the Phoenicians, from about 1000BC.
This figure is quite interesting also (from the online version)
It places the Turks midway between the Huns and the Mongols.
