The spread of humans in the earth is called great migration by which it happens 80.000 years ago. It brings the most significant achievements for humans to colonize any places that are suitable for living and using its resources as well as responsible for human evolution.
EXPLANATION:
This great migration carried out humans’ species to a dominant position in the world that was never released and signaled the extinction of any remaining competitors—Neanderthals in Asia and Europe, several Homo erectus enclaves scattered in the Far East and, if scholars finally decided they are actually species separated, a few small people from the Indonesian island of Flores. When the migration was finished, Homo sapiens was the last—and only—standing man.
The behaviors of modern people were also different. Neanderthals made utensils, but they worked with chunky splits hit from large stones. Modern humans’ stone weapons and tools often characterized standardized, lengthened, and well-made blades. Both species hunted and slaughtered the same large animals, including horses, deer, wild cattle, and bison.
But sophisticated modern weapons, like throwing spears with various tips from wrought stones, bones, and horns, made them more effective. Those utensils also might make it relatively safe; fossil evidence presents Neanderthals suffered painful injuries, like scratches and broken bones, perhaps because of hunting in a place close to a short spear and the tip of a stone and a spear that pierced. Both species had rituals—Neanderthals entombed the dead—and both made jewelry and ornaments.
But moderns made their artifacts with a regularity and skill that were never compatible with Neanderthals. And Neanderthals, as far as it is known, had not like engraving in Blombos Cave, keep away from ivory flutes, bone carvings and, in the end, alluring rock art and cave paintings left behind by modern humans as portraits of their world.
