This includes the study of how groups of people separate, migrate, and mingle with other groups. It includes something of the history of how they have spread across the earth, and establish new communities.


This depends somewht on science. Physics and chemistry are less likely to be useful than astronomy and earth science. Biology including molecular biology, cell biology, organism biology, systematics, ecology, and biohistory are likely to be applied. Personal studies are also likely to be connected, though the human body, psychology, and biography are not all equally important.

Human dispersion is somehwat connected to social foundations including social presentation, social interaction, social control, social behavior, and social group types. Demography including births, migration, deaths, population structure and change is closely related to this subect. It is also connected to other areas of physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups.

This is connected to culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture. Connections to institutions including families, eduction, economics, government, and religion can also be made..

This will have connections to sociology including social structure and change and communities. Peoples of the world including particular nations and major divisions such as Asiatic people, Western Civilization, African peoples, and American Indian peoples are the result of human dispersion and give some evidence and examples of it.

The history of studies of human dispersion is obscure. I know little of it in prehistory, antiquity, or classical and medieval times. Much of this has been studied in modern times, including the 16th century, 17th century, 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century. Its future is obscure.
