AThe history of civilization is a history of wandering, sword in hand, in search of food.
BAs soon as [man's] evolution permitted, he made himself better devices for killing than the old natural ones of fang and claw.
CAnd yet, despite this terrible roll of death, there are to-day alive on the planet a billion and three quarters of human beings.
DAnd to this day, [man's] finest creative energy and technical skill are devoted to the same old task of making better and ever better killing weapons.

The main argument in Jack London's "The Human Drift" is that humans have always migrated due to hunger. Even when we discuss the motivations of migrants in terms of economic security or better opportunities, all of these arguments are ultimately reduced to freeing themselves from hunger. He argues that this is always the case, whether we are talking about people who lived thousands of years ago or Slovak immigrants who just arrived to Pennsylvania.
