Humanity has always been on the move. According to one influential
theory, the first major human migration occurred when early humans moved
out of Africa to spread out around the world. In more recent times, Africa
was again the source of a major population movement when possibly 12 million
people were forcibly transported to the New World as slaves between the 16th
and 19th centuries. Greater than this, though, was the movement of 59 million
people from Europe to North and South America, Australia and New Zealand
between 1846 and 1939.

the Americas in the 19th century has ended, modern migration is still
considerable. Around 3% of the world's population are currently classed as
migrants-that is, people living ( a ) their countries of birth. This

increase further. However, migration has also become more complex and the
