Serious answer: the most important historical event since Columbus is the Muslim infiltration of the West.

Probably the spread of Latin people, language and culture out of Rome into Spain, France, Britain and German - because it was persistent (particularly language and culture) and created the Western World as we know it.

Section 8 has caused much migration from cities to suburbs.

Norsemen into Normandy. They eventually used that to conquer Britain, then went on to rule most of the world. They formed the most far-flung empire in the history of the world.

I know Ghengis Khan's DNA supposedly is present in a large number of people alive today in certain areas, but I just don't know if their "civilization" made lasting impressions or not.
They brought no lasting culture, no laws, nothing.

Normans who started out as part of the same northern invations (I don't know if they were Danes, Norse or what) took over.
The Normans (Norsemen) were Danes who had settled in northern France.
The Scandanavians really got around, as did the Mongols.

History would be different, but was the Norman conquest really crucial for the British Empire 700 years later? 1066 oriented England away from Scandinavia and linked England with Western Europe/France and eventually led to the Hundred Years War, but was all that necessary for Britain to become a seafaring empire?

Perhaps the most significant migration was that of Homo erectus out of Africa. They spread so far and wide that paleoanthropologists have a tough time filtering their effects from other groups that migrated out of Africa later. I think we’ll eventually discover that H. erectus mated with the other groups and have survived to present day just as Homo neanderthalensis did.

Easy. White flight to the Northshore.

Australia is pretty funny. The British wanted to get all of the ‘bad’ people out of England and as punishment sent them on a ship far away.
Too bad they sent them to fricking paradise. Pretty strange that there’s so many dangerous species that inhabit that continent exclusively, yet they still were able to colonize and thrive.
That’s the end though, no major contributions to history aside from funny words and a cool accent.

Without reading this thread yet, I recommend the book Guns, Germs, and Steel for anyone interested in this. It’s fascinating

Turks migrating into Anatolia -- forced the fall of the Roman/Byzantine Empire
Also led to the Crusades.
Some say the fall of Constantinople helped out the renaissance by dispersing Greek speakers to the west.
