	Human migration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Migration and population isolation is one of the four evolutionary forces (along with natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation).
		The pressures of human migrations, whether as outright conquest or by slow cultural infiltration and resettlement, have affected the grand epochs in history (e.g.
		Notable examples of this phenomenon include mass migration of Protestants from the Spanish Netherlands to the Dutch Republic after the 1580s, the expelling of Jews and Moriscos from Spain in the 1590s and the expulsion of the Huguenots from France in the 1680s.

		In its natural origins, it includes the separate migrations first of Homo erectus then of Homo sapiens {Homo sapiens sapiens) out of Africa across Eurasia, doubtless using some of the same available land routes north of the Himalayas that were later to become the Silk Road, and across the Strait of Gibraltar.
		However genetic studies have recently shown that the migration dates to the end of the Palaeolithic and that the Neolithic farming revolution was a cultural movement rather than a migration.
		That is when hundreds of thousands of Serbs started leaving the areas of their medieval Kingdom and Empire that was overrun by the Turks in the 15th century (Kosovo and Metohija), under the leadership of their patriarchs and Orthodox Church priests, and moved to southern parts of the Kingdom of Hungary, today's Vojvodina, northern Serbia.

	Human Migration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Humans are constantly on the move, packing up and resettling in different towns, in a neighbouring country, or on the other side of an ocean.
		Among the natural causes of migration are prolonged droughts, changes in climate, and floods or volcanic eruptions that render sizeable areas uninhabitable.
		People who migrate tend to seek an environment similar to the one they left, but they are influenced by natural barriers, such as large rivers, seas, deserts, and mountain ranges.

		An analysis of the historic, political and human rights perspectives on the Haitian populations in the Dominican Republic is contained in the NCHR report Beyond the Bateyes: Haitian Immigrants in the Dominican Republic (1996).
		For example, Dominican migration control should be demilitarized and the immigration status of Haitian residents legally determined as a prelude to bilateral commercial or migrant labor agreements.
		Third, the human rights problems of Haitian residents in the Dominican Republic can be ameliorated by ending military control of the Haitian population, normalizing the immigration status of undocumented residents and incorporating enforceable labor and other human rights protections into bilateral trade, migrant labor and migration accords.

	Migration Information Source - Migrants' Human Rights: From the Margins to the Mainstream
		A migrant's human rights are largely defined by the migration "category" to which he or she belongs, and by the reasons underlying that migration.
		Migration and human rights intersect at a number of points, starting when the migrant crosses a frontier, the act that defines international migration.
		This complex interrelationship between migration and human rights is multifaceted, and found at all stages in the migratory cycle: in the country of origin, during transit, and in the country of destination.

	OHCHR and Migration
		Migration offers great chances and benefits to receiving countries, sending countries as well as to the migrants and their families, but there are also challenges that need to be addressed.
		The position of OHCHR is that human rights are at the heart of migration and should be at the forefront of any discussion on migration management and policies.
		OHCHR is committed to a human rights approach to migration and engages with other specialized agencies and international organisations in ensuring the protection of the rights of all migrants during the entire migration process.

		But scavenging is a migratory life, tied to the hunting patterns of predators and the herds of game they prey on, to fluctuations in water supplies, to seasonal shifts in the requirements for shelter and plants.

		The present world view is that we are truly a part of a larger scheme, we are made of "star stuff." We are living during a window of opportunity that did not exist before and may not be available in the future.
		The settlement will be a human enclave, a post-industrial cooperative society, but it will not mimic or necessarily be a clone of the society from which it is drawn.
		These pitfalls are: superficial relationships because of excessively close living arrangements, reduced opportunities for women because of child bearing and child rearing, waste due to the lack of awareness (it is someone else's responsibility), reduction of creativity because of pressure to conform, and the lack of well-defined personal goals.

		More broadly, though, migration means all the ways—from the seasonal drift of agricultural workers within a country to the relocation of refugees from one country to another—in which people slake the fever or need to move.
		Migration is the dynamic undertow of population change; everyone's solution, everyone's conflict.
		Migration, Miller argues, is not a matter of each individual deciding rationally and simply where the best hope for freedom or success lies.

		According to the available archeological record, anatomically modern humans began to move out of Africa/Eurasia at least 60,000 calendar years ago.
		Much later, humans entered the New World (North America and South America) --perhaps directly over the Bering land bridge, or perhaps over water, by following the coastline of the Aleutians to reach the North American seaboard.
		Somewhat later, humans spread out to the world's remaining habitable islands: central Mediterranean islands, at least 8,000 years ago; West Indies, at least 7,500 years ago; Madagascar, 2,000 years ago; New Zealand, perhaps 1,500 years ago.

		Susan C. Anton, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Florida who was a member of the discovery team, said that by this time human ancestors had become more carnivorous and their diets pushed them to expand their home range to match the wider ranges of the animals they preyed on.
		As long as early human ancestors had smaller bodies and brains, Dr. Tattersall said, they lived mainly on plants and confined themselves to a limited range at the edge of forests, not too deep in or too exposed far out on the savanna.
		Carl C. Swisher 3rd of the Berkeley Geochronology Center in California determined the approximate age of the skulls by geochemical and paleomagnetic analysis of the sediments and the presence of small rodent bones of a well-established age that were found with the human fossils.

		Forced migrations and the concept of refugees are briefly mentioned, and then the text considers present-day migrations.
		Generally the factors discussed in motivating migration are oversimplified, and traditional migration patterns, particularly in the U.S., are seen as simply going from bad economic situations to positive ones.
		In considering modern migration from rural to urban settings, their thinking needs to be extended to see the many issues both motivating and limiting these movements.

		Some of the most provocative new findings about the origins and worldwide spread of the human species are coming from studies of the history books packed inside nearly every cell of our bodies.
		Those conclusions stemmed partly from her studies of the relatively isolated Finns, whose ancestors typically can be traced back easily to a relative handful of original settlers, uncomplicated by the genetic scrambling that occurs when disparate groups and multiple migrations meet and mingle.
		For similar reasons, scientists interested in human evolution often study a particular type of DNA, found not in the nucleus of cells but in the tiny energy-producing structures called mitochondria.
