There is a universality of migration on this
planet Earth for not only has humanity migrated
from its initial place of origin moving from continent
to continent in the dim distant past, so too have
other animals save those whose existence is one
of great sequestration on a remote island where
sea swells and deep sea trenches are in and of
themselves a grave deterrence to escape. Over the
millennia hordes of conquest-driven humanity
have raided and despoiled others, consuming the
heritage and culture of the conquered in a dramatic
upheaval of people and history. The nature of
migration so deeply engrained in the subconscious
movement, incremental and durable enters the
gene pool while those indigenous to a geography
bemoan fleeing tradition, enmeshed in those of
interlopers'. Yet the very universality of migration
so deeply a part of all living organisms sees insects
and vegetation setting out on similar journeys of
discovery, where they invasively colonize great swaths
of foreign territory, in the process consigning to
oblivion original living elements of native species.
