Marco Polo (1254-1324) was a Venetian merchant believed to have journeyed across Asia at the height of the Mongol Empire. He first set out at age 17 with his father and uncle, traveling overland along what later became known as the Silk Road. Upon reaching China, Marco Polo entered the court of powerful Mongol ruler Kublai Khan, who dispatched him on trips to help administer the realm. Marco Polo remained abroad for 24 years. Though not the first European to explore China—his father and uncle, among others, had already been there—he became famous for his travels thanks to a popular book he co-authored while languishing in a Genoese prison.

Genetic classification.
Explanation:
The genetic classification of climate is based on determinants of climate such as, location with respect to wind and pressure belts, latitudinal control of temperature, effects of mountains.
Genetic classification also relies on information about climatic elements like solar radiation, air masses, and pressure systems.
This classification is qualitative and climate is designated in a subjective manner with no rigorous scientific research done.
