Animated map of how humans migrated across the world (video)

Human beings have been migrating since the dawn of time. Be it in search of food, more hospitable environments, to escape wars or conflicts, people have always been on the move. It is very difficult to know what happened on earth thousands of years before anyone started recording history in any way. But thanks to the dedicated work of anthropologists and palaeontologists like the ones working on National Geographic’s ‘Genographic Project’, we are given a glimpse into the story of our common ancestors. This video shows how people started to spread from East Africa all around the world.
