A comment on Homo sapiens.

Humans have the widest distribution of any terrestrial mammal species, inhabiting every continent on earth (although there are no permanent settlements on Antarctica). A small group of humans has been introduced to space, where they inhabit the International Space Station.

Wouldn't mice be everywhere humans are? Dogs too? Except the iss of course.

Are there dogs at the antarctic research stations?

Not anymore, apparently the dogs were attacking the penguins.

I don't remember hearing that James Cameron had any stowaway rats on the Deepsea Challenger, so the bottom of the Marianas Trench is at least one other place humans have been exclusively.

I think the "distribution" is concerned with long-term habitation, which the Deepsea Challenger in the Marianas Trench was not.

To be fair, the ISS is not a long-term habitation either.

there are permanent settlements in Antartica (for some definition of "permanent")
