Man could not stay there forever. He was bound to spread to new regions, partly because of his innate migratory tendency and partly because of Nature's stern urgency.

Again and again, to be sure, on the way to America, and under many other circumstances, man has passed through the most adverse climates and has survived, but he has flourished and waxed strong only in certain zones.
A man's homeland is wherever he prospers.
Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.
Long after this wonderful event in the Earth's history, when the human species was spread over a good deal of Asia, Europe, and Africa, migration to the American continents began in attempts to find new feeding grounds and unoccupied areas for hunting and fishing.
The evidence points to central Asia as man's original home, for the general movement of human migrations has been outward from that region and not inward.
Man was made to be immortal; else, he could not survive being the fool he is.
If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities.
Already at the origin of the species man was equal to what he was destined to become.
The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being.
