In A Short History of Humanity, Johannes Krause and Thomas Trappe take us on a whistlestop tour through the history of our ancestors, from the ice age to the present day, and demonstrate that migration and mass resettlements are not modern age phenomena. In fact, since Homo erectus, mankind 'was always on the move' and spread from his native Africa into the whole world, including what later became Europe. How migration made us who we are.
