Abstract

This chapter concentrates on the migration of humans and its effects on the widespread rise of cities, tools, agriculture, and technology. An argument for the exodus out of Africa and for human African origin is dealt with, using the early observations of Darwin and comparisons of great ape and human anatomy, and supported by genetic and archeological evidence. Archeological evidence points to several migrations based on artifacts and fossil evidence, with speculations that the timing of migration could have been based on climatic conditions. Learning more about the development of H. sapiens and their migration will not only allow scientists to better understand genome, and phenotypic differences and similarities between extant aboriginal populations and urban dwellers, but also pave the way for insight into medical and genetic advances. Understanding migratory routes and admixture between species creates a platform for understanding modern human’s susceptibility and resistance to certain diseases and sickness.
