Final answer:

The sequence of human migration began with early humans leaving Africa and moving to areas around the Mediterranean Sea. They then migrated to Asia and reached India and China. Finally, humans crossed into the Americas and settled there.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of human migration across the planet began with early humans migrating out of eastern and southern Africa around 200,000 years ago. They moved deeper south, west, and north to areas around the Mediterranean Sea. Approximately 100,000 years ago, some groups of Homo sapiens left Africa and started a global migration.

After crossing the Sinai into southwest Asia, early migrants followed the coasts of Asia, eventually reaching India and China around 70,000 years ago. Around 40,000 years ago, humans migrated overland on the Bering Land Bridge and reached the Americas. They also built seagoing canoes to settle in the Pacific Islands. The last major continental settlement was North and South America, with evidence of early human occupations there as early as 10,000 to 14,000 years ago.

Human migration is the movement over long distances, movement from one country/region to another ) by people . Humans moved because of the changing climate and landscape and inadequate food supply. The first human movement was the movement of Homo erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about 1.75 million years ago.
Than industrialization encouraged migration wherever it appeared.
Wars also created migration. (
The First and Second World Wars, and wars, genocides, and crises sparked by them, lead to migrations).
