Introduction to Anthropology

Daniel is looking very happy this morning, although students might notice when he moves, he's pretty stiff.

"Morning class. I hope you all had a great weekend," he says, grinning. "Today, I want to discuss migration.

Human migration has taken place at all times and in the greatest variety of circumstances. It has been tribal, national, class and individual. Its causes have been climatic, political, economic, religious, or mere love of adventure. Its causes and results are fundamental for the study of ethnology, of political and social history, and of political economy.

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.

Now, class discussion. How do you think migration has affected population genetics?

For homework, I want at least a hundred words on migration and genetic markers for Wednesday. Thank you, guys; have a great day."
