Not to deny that migration is stress indeed , I can't help but wonder why actually?
I mean human beings are evolved facing quite challenging circumstances . Think about some sailorman of 15 century who wanted to get to India and landed in America instead ) We've never heard that causes much of stress for him. Why in 21 century it starts to be a problem ?

Did that hypothetical sailor get his house bombed to pieces, was he made watch his wife and daughter raped and killed before his eyes, held in captivity for ransom and tortured for months, before escaping and making it to Europe on a flimsy boat and then walking through the continent with all his possessions on his back? This might be a little too extreme case, of course (although not entirely unrealistic), but being a refugee is very different from being a traveller/explorer, you see… In any century, in any country.
Yes, I think everything on your list is not some modern invention, that was in 15 century already there.
That was exactly my point, people use to live in hell for centuries. I would expect human mind to be better adapted for negative circumstances .
Ah, I think I understand your point better now. Thank you for clarifying.
Well, I would hope that our human civilisation is better equipped to prevent the causes or deal with the consequences of humanitarian crises. But that hope is very bleak at the moment, looking at the state of the world. Well, maybe it is because human minds haven’t really evolved in the past six hundred or six thousand years…
