Features: Humans have always had the instinct to explore territory. Prehistoric hunters followed animal herds, discovering new regions. After settling down, the strong desire for exploration remained. Despite the hardships of the journey, people embarked on the fascinating quest of searching for land in distant places and engaging in trade with the people there. Early human migration is, in some aspects, one of the greatest chapters in the history of exploration. Without the help of wheels, they traveled long distances, and their footprints nearly covered the entire globe.
This book vividly tells the history of human exploration in plain language, with rich illustrations and specially drawn maps—from the earliest explorations to the space and underwater explorations of the 20th century, including all the important figures and major events in the history of human exploration.
