Humans experienced dramatic change over the last 10000 years. The culture went from a hunter-gatherer based society, to a more advanced agricultural society. I learned that DNA can be examined to directly see the change that the people of that time were going through with the introduction of agriculture. People were mobile, they would travel thousands of miles over a few years, and with this movement of people, ideas followed. People taught each other new techniques, and learned from those, in which they encountered. As time progressed, and technology advanced, people began to travel more to foreign lands. Large population movements began, and in the early 20th century, America became a home to millions of emigrants. San Francisco and Ellis Island were major ports that brought emigrants from Asia, and Europe. With large groups settling, people began to explore. Antartica was a target for a lot of explores, and took some with it. All of this exploration and transportation to new countries brought society to where it is now.
