Overview of Human Migration
The term “human migration” describes the movement of people from one location to another, frequently entailing a move. A key feature of human history has been migration, which has been fueled by a variety of causes including wars, social and political chaos, economic opportunity, and environmental circumstances. Globally, this complex phenomenon has influenced economies, cultures, and society.
Homo Sapiens and Early Human Migration
Homo sapiens, the ancestors of modern humans, originated between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. It is estimated that they first used language 50,000 years ago. The first people began to migrate out of Africa between 70,000 and 100,000 years ago. Humans are unique because no other species that we are aware of has expanded, adapted to, and moved several locations on Earth. This has greatly impacted the ecology and history.
In this article, let us take a deep dive into the early human migration and homo sapiens.
