In the course of this giant dispersal, human beings colonized environments so diff erent from one another that they might as well have been on different planets. South of the Fertile Crescent lies what we now call the Arabian Peninsula, sand dune upon sand dune promising nothing but dehydration and heat stroke between here and the horizon. Yet the ancestors of the Arabs lived successfully there, fi guring out how to tame the bad-tempered camel, protect themselves against the sun with layers of cloth and locate what little water there was. At the opposite end of the Earth, ecologically speaking, the ancestors of the Polynesians learned to build oceangoing sailing vessels – misleadingly called “canoes” in popular accounts – which eventually took them thousands of kilometers across the open waters of the Pacifi c to Aotearoa, the place Westerners call New Zealand. Wandering off in a diff erent direction, the Inuits and other Eskimo nations survived by hunting from sealskin kayaks and building houses out of snow. In this diversity of habitats, neither the ocean fl oor nor outer space stand out as especially hostile or complicated, merely diff erent.
