In the historical context, the world is divided into two parts: the Old World (the Eastern Hemisphere) and the New World (the Western Hemisphere). They distinguish major ecological zones and facilitate classification of plants and animals living in them. Vulture is also divided into two groups, Vulture of old world and Vulture of new world. Interestingly, however, the vultures of these two groups are not closely related. They are the result of convergence evolution, that they develop similar features to accommodate similar ecological conditions

In Colombia's so-called exchange, the Columbus voyage allowed for the exchange of plants, animals, culture, thoughts (and diseases) between the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere. As Europeans can reach almost every part of the world, they will have a new era of modernity and change the world forever.
