The most widely separated portion of mankind must, even in the course oftheir movements in historical times, have been brought to the sea; and before theinvention of seafaring there must have been a time when the sea confined themto those regions which had been the cradle of the race. That invention, theearliest indications of which have long disappeared—for in all parts of the earth wefind high development of the art side by side with ignorance of it—was the firstthing that rendered possible the spread of mankind over almost all the habitable

In the most various parts of the earth we meet with thearts of shipbuilding and navigation in an advanced stage. This is most conspicuousin the Pacific, least so in the Atlantic. This irregular distribution is a sign of theease with which the art is forgotten ; so that we must not from its absence inplaces, and the absence even of any memory of it, infer a continued or completenon-activity in regard to the sea. Even if we did not meet, in Hawaii and else-where, with traditions of larger and better vessels in former times, the closeconnection which subsists between a high social and political organisation andproficiency in seafaring would presume the possibility of a rapid retrogressionin the latter. The Northmen sailed to Iceland, Greenland, America, in little boatswhich, perhaps, were not so good as those used by the Polynesians ; afterwardsthey lost sight of the land which had been their

MaorovéMaorové jsou původní polynéské obyvatelstvo Nového Zélandu (Aotearoa). Tato skupina připlula na Nový Zéland z východní Polynésie, avšak o konkrétním místě jejich původu se vedou debaty, v úvahu připadá mj. Tahiti nebo Havaj. I když první Polynésané dorazili na Nový Zéland patrně již kolem roku 1280, hlavní masové migrační vlny nastaly mezi lety 1320–1350, což potvrzují archeologické doklady i ústní tradice. Maorové se rychle rozšířili po celém Novém Zélandu a rozvinuli svou specifickou kulturu. .. pokračovat ve čtení
Migrace ptákůMigrace ptáků je sezónní tah ptactva mezi jejich hnízdišti a zimovišti. Na migrační cestu se pravidelně vydává méně než 20 % z více než 10 tisíc ptačích druhů. Opeřenci vykonávající migraci se označují jako tažní či stěhovaví ptáci. Důvodem migrace je hlavně dostupnost potravy, obecněji vytěžení dvou či více biotopů, jejichž vhodnost pro život ptáků se sezónně proměňuje. Migrace je v ptácích geneticky zafixována, sociální učení hraje druhotnou, i když někdy poměrně významnou roli. Většina ptáků migruje v noci, což s sebou nese řadu výhod jako je vyhnutí se predátorům nebo nižší teploty a tedy i menší riziko dehydratace. .. pokračovat ve čtení
