Naturally, in time, the tendency to migrate has lessened but migration has been quite an important factor in determining the distribution of the world's population.

The earliest records we have of such migratory movements is to be obtained in the Bible, with its story of the wanderings of the Hebrews after their expulsion from Egypt. The Greek, because their own land was small and infertile, were compelled to engage in commerce, establishing trading centres all over the Mediterranean region, which later became colonies.

a different kind of migration was military in character, associated with the rise and fall of empires. 1 such military movement is associated with the name of the Greek Emperor, Alexander the Great, who, with his armies, brought Greek culture and civilization as far as lndia.
