The Greatest Change in the Mind of Man Since the Dawn of Creation

It may be postulated that this single bit of physical awareness brought about the greatest change in the mind of man since the dawn of creation.

Before Magellan’s time, mankind had simply accepted as self-evident the fact that there was always more property “out there” over the horizon and that it was not essential that anyone think seriously about the ownership of land, particularly open land. This general idea ended with the return of the good ship Victoria.
