Question

Describe the migratory patterns of early humans. What do you think was the primary reason for their migration? What was the common factor in the location of each of the first settlements.

Answer 1

Answer: Climate change, water supply, building materials, quality of soil, climate, shelter and defence

Explanation: Climate change because climate change can have positive affects and negative affects on the environment. In this case, the climate change had a negative affect.  A common factor in the location of each of the first settlements is water supply, building materials, quality of soil, climate, shelter and defence

Answer 2

Answer:

The initial migratory pattern of early humans was to head north. Some of the first settlements were located in North Africa, the Levant, and China, which means that the climate following the Ice Age may have warmed first in these regions. There are several possible reasons for the initial migration, including overpopulation in East Africa, mass migration of animal life, or climate changes in East Africa. Any of these may have led to the human migration out of East Africa, but it was most likely a combination of all of them. The common factor among the earliest settlement locations was that they all were located near major rivers. The North African settlement was near the Nile, the settlements in the Levant were near the Tigris and Euphrates, and the Chinese settlements were near the Yellow River
