Sedentary isn't the word you're looking for.

> Humans have been traveling pretty much their entire existence. Being sedentary seems to be a much more recent development.

With the development of agriculture, people staying in one place seems to have been the normal for a while now.

Even with the hunter-gatherer societies we know about, AIUI, they tend to have a village/community from which they go out from, i.e., they are 'non-migratory'.

I think you're referring to the agricultural revolution, before which humans were hunter-gatherers. But even when people were moving around a lot, they didn't go very far, and I don't think it was for the same reasons.

> Hunter-gatherers tends to have much greater home ranges than pre-industrial sedentary farmers. It has been estimated that pre-industrial English people living in small townships would have had a home range of 900 hectares (9 km2), close to that predicted for an omnivorous mammal of their same body mass.

Not sure if I'd call it narcissism, but whenever I hear about friends of mine (mostly friends of friends to be fair) going to Japan after they'd just gone on a cruise to Antarctica, and the trek through the Alps is also already planned, it makes me feel uneasy, but I can't quite put my finger on why. I've always felt uneasy around people that spend so much money on themselves and their own pleasures.
