A Simple Lesson by Dirk Hagner
"Migration. Emigration. Immigration. The lesson is simple: none of us human beings come from the place where we are now. Be that we now migrate, emigrate, or immigrate or our ancestors have done so in the past: we all came from some other place than where we currently are. That makes humans so successful at overrunning the planet. It has always been like this and always will be like this until we disappear from the scene. We’re living things, and as such we do exactly like the birds, fish, plants, insects, and microbes: we leave one place to find a better one to survive, procreate, prosper: to live." - Dirk Hagner
