Venetian explorer, Marco Polo, told his cellmate during his imprisonment after the Venetian-Genoese War about his travels to the Far East. These accounts became a book , later entitled "The Travels of Marco Polo" which was influential in sparking people's curiosity of the East.
The first impact was that Marco Polo was able to bring elements of Western culture to the East and Eastern culture back to the West. Because of his exploration Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and India, China began to experience Western culture.
Next, Marco Polo's interactions with Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan led to commercial exchange with Western merchants who were now arriving in China. This increased Chinese's growth as a civilization.
The Silk Road, an easier route to travel around the Gobi Desert, traced by the Polos had a huge effect in the future of European and Chinese interaction. It would prove to be a more effective route than to sail the oceans to China.
Answer:
The answer is: an ethnography.
Explanation:
Ethnography is a research method that consists of the study of the everyday life of a group of people. When social researchers first began using this method, it was common for them to live with the group they were studying over a period of years, since they focused on the study of foreign cultures. However, although ehnography still implies the submersion of the researcher into the community or culture he is studying, it doesn't necessarily have to be a foreign non occidental culture.
Within this method, researchers can use several research techniques to gather data, participant and non participant observation, interviews, etc.
Answer:

Explanation:
Every organism has a certain range of requirements called a niche. The competitive exclusion principle states that two organisms cannot occupy the exact same niche without one out-competing the other. Niche partitioning is basically changing some aspects of a niche so that there is no need for competition.
