- The civilization eventually disappeared
along with its two great cities, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.
- The advanced drainage system and baths of the great cities were
built over or blocked.

- The growth in cross-border economic activities takes five principal forms: (1) international trade; (2) foreign direct investment; (3) capital market flows; (4) migration (movement of labor); and (5) diffusion of technology (Stiglitz, 2003).
- Capital market flows also include remittances from migration, which typically flow from industrialized to less industrialized countries.
- Migration: Whether it is physicians who emigrate from India and Pakistan to Great Britain or seasonal farm workers emigrating from Mexico to the United States, labor is increasingly mobile.
- Migration can benefit developing economies when migrants who acquired education and know-how abroad return home to establish new enterprises.
- However, migration can also hurt the economy through "brain drain", the loss of skilled workers who are essential for economic growth (Stiglitz, 2003).
-
- Even humans, with our great capacity to learn, still exhibit a variety of innate behaviors.
- Migration is the long-range seasonal movement of animals.
- Although migration is thought of as an innate behavior, only some migrating species always migrate (obligate migration).
- Animals that exhibit facultative migration can choose to migrate or not.
- Additionally, in some animals, only a portion of the population migrates, whereas the rest does not migrate (incomplete migration).

- The Bantu expansion is the name for a postulated millennia-long series of migrations of speakers of the original proto-Bantu language group.

- They also encountered some Afro-Asiatic outlier groups in the southeast, who had migrated down from Northeast Africa.
- Between the 13th and 15th centuries, the relatively powerful Bantu-speaking states on a scale larger than local chiefdoms began to emerge in the Great Lakes region, in the savanna south of the Central African rainforest, and on the Zambezi river where the Monomatapa kings built the famous Great Zimbabwe complex.
- By the time Great Zimbabwe had ceased being the capital of a large trading empire, speakers of Bantu languages were present throughout much of Southern Africa.

the archaeological site of Mohenjo-daro, one of the great cities of the Indus
Valley Civilization, whom he said were victims of war.
