[QUOTE="TNT88, post: 402782, member: 47834"] It is a good question. IMO Humans are curious animals, i can't imagine them staying put in one particular area for ever. It wasn't until 50-100k years ago that humans really started to populate the globe, the technological advances ever since then have been growing exponentially (ie, tools, fire, weapons, language). Maybe as humans got better at accommodating for the world around them, they no longer needed to live in places specifically suited to accommodating an ape life. I've read a few articles that suggest stuff like this. As for a scientific viewpoint. Here is a 4 minute video on the topic: [url]http://bigthink.com/ideas/1284[/url] At 2.25 he is asked about the "why". And basically says human innovation may have been the main driving force behind the large scale migrations. But it appears to be a relatively new field of study, which is why there are no solid answers right now. [/QUOTE]
