An article on major migrations that barely even mentions the slave trade? This is unbelievably poor to the point that it is whitewashing history.

Thank you, Jim, for your comment.
Of course the slave trade was an important example of involuntary human migration, and perhaps more could be included regarding the difference between voluntary and involuntary migrations.

This article discusses human migration over the whole world and all of human history, including pre-history, and thus covers multiple millennia as well as all geographical locations. Thus, the (Atlantic) slave trade, which took place over a period of around 400 years, while significant is not the focus of the article. Nevertheless, it is already mentioned several times. I will, however, review the article and make any appropriate revisions.

Thank you again for taking the time to help make NWE a valuable information resource.
