Summary/Abstract: The article presents the evolution of geopolitical thought of human migrations. At the beginning the author presents three new theses concerning the time in geopolitics. He suggests that it is necessary to measure it up with no years but generations. During great wars while the concentration and using force the geopolitical time is speeding up. But then powers are incurred less long-lasting from the ones colonized by generations. „The Politics of the Womb, that is, the strategy of exporting human beings and having them breed in abundance is the simplest way to take possession of a territory”, warned in 2004 the famous Italian author Oriana Fallaci. Next the author reviews dissertations above the migration subject matter in the history of the geopolitical thought from Hegel for contemporary times. Putting together of the concept the determinism, explaining human migrations with natural causes and the concept the possibilism, allowing intentional migration policy is an axis of deliberations. The article was finished with the Kelly Greenhill’s conclusion: „The nature of war itself has changed; now the refugees are the war”.
