Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Human Migration Patterns II activity also includes:

While humans have always been on the move, the period between 1400 and 1800 saw vast migrations of people between the East and the West. These migrations—whether through slavery or a desire to colonize new lands—shaped the modern world. A secondary source reading and map activity asks learners to plot out the course of these migrations and how they shaped the human story.
