Wittingly or not, they spread the seeds ofprimitive civilization all over the world. However, this process seemed endlessin the age of small-scale production, when people were completely isolated fromeach other, though the crowing of their birds and barking of their dogs werewithin earshot. Some of them remained in their native land for their whole life;others devoted their whole life to exploiting new frontiers. The socialized large-scale production has given a great impetus to human flows. The globalization ofthe economy has expanded human activities to every corner of the world.
Nowadays, human beings crisscross this blue planet, reaching far beyondthe boundaries of their ancestors. They have greatly expanded their sphere ofactivities, particularly due to the advent of modern transportation tools.

We should now add"ircraft flyers, though not winged, can travel through the sky." Aircraft makesit possible for travelers to reach the other side of the planet within a single day.The advancement of transportation means has greatly increased the travelingability of mankind.
