Natural Deselection

 The 200-year-old painting that puts Europe's fear of ...

There is a universality of migration on this 

planet Earth for not only has humanity migrated 

from its initial place of origin moving from continent 

to continent in the dim distant past, so too have 

other animals save those whose existence is one 

of great sequestration on a remote island where 

sea swells and deep sea trenches are in and of 

themselves a grave deterrence to escape. Over the 

millennia hordes of conquest-driven humanity 

have raided and despoiled others, consuming the

heritage and culture of the conquered in a dramatic 

upheaval of people and history. The nature of 

migration so deeply engrained in the subconscious 

movement, incremental and durable enters the 

gene pool while those indigenous to a geography 

bemoan fleeing tradition, enmeshed in those of 

interlopers'. Yet the very universality of migration 

so deeply a part of all living organisms sees insects 

and vegetation setting out on similar journeys of

discovery, where they invasively colonize great swaths 

of foreign territory, in the process consigning to

oblivion original living elements of native species.
