I'm not sure how important all this is, but I had no idea so much of Africa was above the equator, and I have an unpleasant suspicion that I assumed the equator was more or less at the upper edge of Africa/lower edge of Europe because it just seemed tidier. Is tidiness/simplicity a named bias?
Might that be because you've seen lots of maps of the Mediterranean with the Tropic of Cancer marked?
