Migration/tribes:
Since Iāve written so little, Iāll just quote what I wrote earlier in a thread about these things:
On a macro scale, most tribes or clans that we know of, and I mean tens of thousands of them, were practically the same, especially when taking into account their biomes. Obviously the Eskimo, Akkadians or Vistulans were different, but the differences between Vistulans, Polans, Mazovians, Goplans, Lendians and other west Slavic tribesā¦? Practically nothing. They lived in practically the same environment, dealt with the same resources, made the same things, talked the same language and so forth. Look upon the Grecians of old, the Boeotians, Minyans, Argives, Arcadians, PhocÄans, Locrians and othersā¦ the fact that they went out together to burn Troy does suggest great similarities between them. Especially since Troy was similarly Grecianā¦ The Iliad struggles to establish any actual difference between them other than justā¦ happing to be living in different places. I feel therefore, that there should, most often, be very little difference between āourā tribe, and the ones close to us, or different clans or so.
Of course, there were more differences between groups of tribes or clans, āpeoplesā or something like that. After all, the differences between the West Slavs and the Germanic tribes next to them were such that the former called the latter something in the lines of āPeople who canāt speak properlyā. They still do

Your mentioning ā[going] 10 kilometers further and [finding] there uninhabited land, if not, then a few kilometers furtherā, is practically exactly how the Germanic peoples moved from Scandinavia southwards, or the Slavs much later, going west all the way into modern northern Germany, and south all the way into modern day central Greece. Or the Magyars, the Hungarians, coming from the east, crossing the Carpathians almost exactly a millennium ago.
