The Great Migrations: From the Earliest Humans to the Age of Globalization / Великие миграции: от древнейших людей к эпохе глобализации.

From the movement of homo erectus out of Africa one million years ago to the Aboriginal settlement of Australia around 50,000 BC: and from the barbarian invasions of early medieval Europe to the diaspora of African slaves in the early modern period, the migration of peoples has been a critical motor of change throughout human history.
