Hominin Migrations Past and Present

Migrations have defined hominins, including our species, Homo sapiens, and shaped our evolutionary history. Of all the species, Homo sapiens has proven to be the most adaptable, ranging over the entire planet and our migrations may take us even farther in the future. It is becoming increasingly clear that migrations define us, shape our history and will determine our future.
