I know it's an opinionated history, but you may want to draw an arrow from LISP or Common Lisp towards C++, as a good chunk of STL is based on Lisp concepts (and I'm pretty sure I've seen this mentioned explicitly in one of Meyers' books).

C++ as a language has very little influence from Lisp.

I would draw an arrow from Lisp to ML, since FP, GC, list processing etc. came from Lisp - ML was even implemented in Lisp and used the runtime.
