What are some early man migrations?
When the earliest migration of man has occurred, it depends on your definition of the word "human", which, unfortunately, is not attached, in dictionaries or anywhere else. "Human" has at least two meanings: any member of the family homo , including homo erectus, homo habilis, et al, or only members of the type homo sapiens .
The first members of the family homo , represented by homo habilis ("handy man") evolved in Africa 2.4 million years ago (not 2.0 million years ago, as is commonly said). South and East Africa was the main station homo habilis. About 1.9 million years ago in Africa, larger and more resourceful persons developed, Homo Ergaster ("working man"). It is assumed that Homo Ergaster could be one of the first members of the family homo to cross the Sinai Peninsula to the Middle East and further to the Far East and the borders of Europe. Quickly after Africa, h.The first member of the family homo to leave Africa. Some scientists are considering h. Ergaster and h. Erectus be members of the same kind.
spread homo from Africa is partly explained by the idea called Theory Sahara Pump Theory. According to geological evidence, about 2.0 million years ago, Sahara was a wetter space and the flora and fauna were common. It was not a virtually uninhabitable desert as today. This would give an incentive for human migration to move north and eventually crossed the Sinai Peninsula to Levant.
Homo erectus lived in China and Southeast Asia at least 1.7 million years ago, based on findings of stone tools. Most scientists do not believe h. Other homonides such as h.cousins h. erectus , got to Europe between 0.9 and 1.2 million years, where their fossils were found in Spain and Italy.
Modern man migration began about 70,000 years ago when homo sapiens went to Levant and modern Yemen. Europe was colonized 50,000 years ago, Australia 40,000 years ago and 30,000 years ago East Asia. Australia colonization is remarkable because Homo erectus was unable to float across the sea to achieve it. People got to America through Bering Land Bridge, but the exact date is in dispute: it could have occurred 30,000 years ago, or recently 14,000 years ago.
Man's migration has continued to this day. Polynesia is one of the latest areas to be historically colonized, most of which reached only 3,000 years ago. The other Zealand was colonized only 1,000 years ago. The first Antarctic base, "Little America" at the base of the Ross Ice, was founded only in 1929.Ohou is to colonize ice plates, oceans, low orbit of the Earth, Moon, Mars and on.
