He also published a Catalogue of the Museum Carlsonianum (1786-89), in which he described many of the specimens he had collected in South Africa and the South Pacific, some of which were new to science. He published an Ornithology of Sweden in 1806.

      He was a French author, explorer, naturalist, zoological collector, travel writer, and noted ornithologist. He reported numerous new bird species based on birds he gathered in Africa, and some birds bear his name. He was among the first to use colour plates to illustrate birds and was opposed to Carl Linnaeus's use of binomial nomenclature, preferring to use descriptive French names such as bateleur (meaning "tumbler or tight-rope walker") for the peculiar African eagle. He explored most of the Southern African`s country by his time.

  • The subject was argued with much learning, and a large map was exhibited to illustrate the views of the author. Some of the more striking points of difference between this map and the recent ones of Livingstone were the total separation of the rivers Liambeji and Zambesi (the upper and lower courses of the Zambesi) and the release of their affluents from the system of inosculation which, in recent maps, bind all those rivers together; and the northwest direction of Lake Nyassa, which was made continuous with Tanganyika, forming an elongated lake, called Nanja mucuro.

      David Livingstone was a Scottish physician, Congregationalist, and pioneer Christian missionary with the London Missionary Society, an explorer in Africa, and one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. David was the husband of Mary Moffat Livingstone, from the prominent 18th-century missionary family, Moffat. Livingstone had a mythic status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags-to-riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of British commercial and colonial expansion.

  • Prior to 1830, foreign merchants little ventured into the interior of East Africa. Arab and Indian traders, brought to the shores of East Africa by favorable monsoon winds from at least the 10 th century, mostly restricted their activities to the coasts, trading and settling on small offshore islands that afforded security. Mixing with local populations, they contributed to the formation of the Swahili civilization

      Foreign wholesalers took a daring journey to the interior of East Africa before 1830. The Arab and Indian traders were brought to the shores of East Africa by seasonal change winds which restricted their explorations to the coasts, trading and settling on offshore islands that provided security. They contributed to the formation of Swahili civilization because they mixed with local populations.

    From early pioneering travellers like Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, and Marco Polo, who bought invaluable information about the Americans and Asla back to the European continent in a time when most thought the world was flat, to more recent adventures like Ernest Shackleton, Nellie Bly, and Edmund Hillary, so much of our present-day knowledge derives from the work of famous explorers.

    Not until the mid-1800s was a weapon invented that was practical, for the most part mechanically reliable, and could be reloaded relatively quickly. The best known example was the Gatling Gun. It was the invention of Richard J. Gatling (1818-1903). Other designs made their appearance as well but did not gain the notoriety the Gatling Gun achieved. These other designs included the Montigny Mitrailleuse, the Nordenfelt Gun, the Agar Gun or Union Repeating Gun (also known as the Coffee Mill Gun), and the Gardner Gun.

LONG TERM EFFECTS OF AFRICA'S SLAVE TRADE - 1 views

  • the slave trades may be an important factor explaining Africa’s high level of ethnic fractionalization today . This is significant for economic development given the established relationship between ethnic fractionalization and long-term economic growth (Easterly and Levine 1997). Because of the environment of uncertainty and insecurity at the time, individuals required weapons, such as iron knives, spears, swords or firearms, to defend themselves. These weapons could be obtained from Europeans in exchange for slaves, who were often obtained through local kidnappings
  • Historians have named this vicious cycle the “gun–slave cycle” (e.g., Lovejoy 2000) or the “iron–slave cycle” (e.g., Hawthorne 2003). The result of this vicious cycle was not only that communities raided other communities for slaves, but also that members of a community raided and kidnapped others within the community .
