| | Human migration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After the Nazis brought the Holocaust upon Jewish people in the 1940s, there was a vast migration to Palestine, which became home to the nation of Israel as a result. | | | The islands of the Pacific were the last region on Earth to be populated by humans, as recently as 15 to 12 millennia ago. | | | Its causes and results are fundamental for the study of ethnology, of political and social history, and of political economy. |

| | Human Migration |
| | Another major migration of Jews to Israel began in 1989, when the USSR eased emigration restrictions; the emigration increased after the break-up of the Communist state. | | | The establishment of Israel in 1948 resulted in the migration of hundreds of thousands of Jews to that state and the displacement of about 720,000 indigenous Palestinians into neighbouring countries. | | | The peak of modern migration occurred in the 50 years preceding World War I. After 1920, however, many nations, particularly those that had been receiving the bulk of the immigrants, placed restrictions on immigration. |

| | human migration -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! |
| | Forced migrations usually involve people who have been expelled by governments during war or other political upheavals or who have been forcibly transported as slaves or prisoners. | | | The largest mass expulsions have probably been those imposed by Nazi Germany, which deported 7–8 million persons during World War II (1939–45), and by the Soviet Union, which forcibly expelled 9–10 million ethnic Germans from eastern Europe into Germany in the closing year of the war and afterwards. | | | Slave migrations and mass expulsions also have been part of human history for millennia. |

| | Migration Information Source - Migrants' Human Rights: From the Margins to the Mainstream |
| | This principle of equality was recently underscored in a UK case brought by foreign nationals who had been detained on grounds of national security, and who challenged legislation allowing their indefinite detention without trial, which applied to foreign but not to British nationals. | | | The House of Lords held that, while the rights of these two groups might differ in an immigration context, international human rights law — in this case the European Convention on Human Rights — does not permit discrimination between citizens and aliens in their rights to liberty. | | | Despite the incidence of abuse, migrants' rights have remained on the margins of the international human rights agenda for several reasons. |

| | Human Migration |
| | Many isolated islands, such as the Galapagos, were reached by humans only in the last 500 years. | | | This immigration event happened at least 14,000 calendar years ago, and may have happened much earlier according to some scientists. | | | Much later, humans entered the New World (North America and South America) --perhaps directly over the Bering land bridge, or perhaps over water, by following the coastline of the Aleutians to reach the North American seaboard. |

| | This subject includes three types of human migration in modern Iran: (1) migration within the country; (2) immigration of foreign nationals to Iran; and (3) emigration of Iranians to foreign countries. | | | The counter-trend in the 1991 and 1993 rural out-migration figures must have been due to the return to their homes of those who were displaced by war. | | | Hence, all conclusions concerning population movements based on these figures have been treated within the context of the effects of the Iran-Iraq war on migration trends in Iran during the period. |

| | ‘Footprints’ of early human migration left in DNA |
| | Comparison of mtDNA sequences from individuals representing different human lineages can therefore be used to infer information about the history of human migrations, including what is believed to be the early-migration out of Africa, where the human species originated. | | | As human populations continue to migrate it is important that we analyse these ‘footprints’ now, before they are lost in the stampede of more modern human migration. | | | New research published in BMC Genetics examines ‘footprints’ left in mitochondrial DNA leading to the conclusion that after humans migrated out of Africa to Western Asia around sixty-to-seventy thousand years ago, subsequent migrations from Western Asia resulted in the populating of Europe and Northern Africa. |

| | The loss of returns on locally effective human capital at original locations probably constitutes an important part of the costs of human migration. | | | Specifically, spatial differences in the returns to a person's human capital will influence a population's spatial distribution at the aggregate and people's location/migration decisions at the individual level. | | | This paper uses the concept of location-specific human capital to build on previous work on amenities, human capital, migration, and regional labor market dynamics to develop a simple model of people's migration behavior. |
