Unlike animals, humans like to stay put. However people do migrate for various reasons: war, strife, job opportunities or even technology. Check out this cool interactive graphic that shows global international migrations between 1990 and 2010.

This graphic assigns each region/country with a colour and lines leading from the respective region/country indicating migration. The width of the lines indicates the relative number of people that migrated. It was created by the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital in Vienna. They used national data and UN census data to generate the graphic in five year intervals.
