We often assume that early humans, due to the lack of advanced technology, were unlikely to engage in long-distance travel. However, this perspective seems to have a critical flaw. If we consider East Africa as the starting point of humanity, wouldn’t the spread of humans to other regions have required extensive migration? Especially during the pre-agricultural era, when humans lived a nomadic lifestyle.

In contrast, modern humans, even when traveling abroad, mostly visit developed cities to indulge in the allure of consumerism. Moreover, trips are rarely extended for long periods, as we are still bound by the chains imposed by the First and Second Industrial Revolutions—namely, work. Perhaps early humans possessed a broader worldview than we do today.
