The March of Mankind

Cultural event

The sudden, explosive spread of humanity across the world.

We were living in trees when they met us.
They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us,
as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift,
Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas
while we followed the March of Mankind.

— - "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", Sir Rudyard Kipling
