World History

MODULE 12 - LESSON 2

QuestionAnswer
What is migration? Migration is the act of moving from one place to settle in another. Migration is a permanent or semipermanent move from one country or region to another
How has migration affected our world? Migrations have influenced world history from its outset as world history from its outset. Throughout history, people have chosen to uproot themselves and move to explore their world, by migrating.
What are the three causes of migration? The three main categories for migration are environmental causes, economic causes, and political causes.
What was the strongest cause for migration? In the early history of human life, environmental factors were most likely the strongest cause of migration, but later, as society progressed, economic and political causes played a greater role.
What are push-pull factors? Migration consists of push-pull factors, that are conditions that draw people to another location (pull factors) or cause people to leave their homelands and migrate to another region (push factors).
What were the main push factors? The main push factors back then were lack of economics, lack of employment, political persecution, and climate change.
What were the main pull factors? The main pull factors back then were available abundant land, urbanization, job opportunities, and religious freedom.
What is the effect of migration? The results of migration may be positive or negative. Migration changes the lives of those who migrate and also of the people in communities where they settle
What are examples of effects of migration? Some examples of effects of migration are cultural blending, redistribution of population, new ideas shared, and a change in environmental conditions.
How do experts trace the patterns of movement? One way experts can trace the patterns of movement of people over time is by studying the spread of languages. Many anthropologists believe that the language spread across Africa as a result of migration.
What do experts believe about the Bantu-speaking people? Experts have found one group of African languages, the Niger­-Congo, includes over 900 individual languages, in which all originated from a single parent tongue, Proto-Bantu.
How much migration did Early Africans endure? Early Africans made some of the greatest migrations in history. When the migrations were over, they or their descendants populated the southern third of the continent.
Who are the Bantu-speaking peoples? The Bantu-speaking peoples are small groups that moved southward throughout Africa, spreading their language and culture.
What did the Bantu-speaking peoples do when they moved? When they moved, the Bantu speakers shared their skills with the people they met, adapted their methods to suit each new environment, and learned new customs.
How did the development of agriculture benefit the Bantu-speaking people? Anthropologists have proposed a logical explanation that once the Bantu-speaking peoples developed agriculture, they were able to produce more food than they could obtain by hunting and gathering.
What did the early Bantu speakers have to do? Because the enlarged population required more food, the earliest Bantu speakers planted more land. As they moved eastward into the savannas, they adapted their techniques for herding goats and sheep to raise cattle.
Where did the Bantu-speaking people reach? Eventually, the Bantu speakers worked their way around the geographical barriers of the Kalahari and Namib Deserts. Within 1,500 years or so they reached the southern tip of Africa.
What happened when the Bantu speakers migrate south? Some areas into which the Bantu moved were sparsely populated with peoples like the Mbuti and the San. These Africans were not Bantu speakers. As the Bantu speakers spread south into hunter-gatherers’ lands, territorial wars often broke out.
How did the Bantu speakers interact with the people they joined? The Bantu speakers exchanged ideas and intermarried with the people they joined. This intermingling created new cultures with unique customs and traditions.
What was the Bantu speaker's technology? The Bantu-speaking people passed on the technology of ironworking to forge tools and weapons from copper, bronze, and iron. They also shared ideas about social and political organization.
