1. <span style="font-size: 13px;">What is the path of your ancestors?</span>
2. <span style="font-size: 13px;">Look up your last name in some genealogy sites-ask your parents what they know about your family history</span>
3. <span style="font-size: 13px;">What motivates people to migrate now, and what was the driving force centuries ago?</span>
4. <span style="font-size: 13px;">What is inherent in humans to leave home and explore?</span>
