From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Oceania (sometimes Oceanica) is a geographical, often geopolitical, region consisting of numerous lands—mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean and vicinity. The term "Oceania" was coined in 1831 by French explorer Dumont d'Urville. The term is used today in many languages to denote a continent comprising Australia and approximate Pacific islands, and is one of eight terrestrial ecozones. The boundaries of Oceania are defined in a number of ways. Most definitions recognize parts of Australasia such as Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea, and all or part of the Malay Archipelago as being parts of Oceania.

Q. What major effects did European endemic disease have on native populations of the new world and oceania? Asked by Lady - Fri Oct 31 19:26:03 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is a really fascinating question that has undoubtedly changed the geopolitical face of the planet. Because Europe was more densely populated than other continents during the early-middle ages, when diseases landed in Europe, they tended to "hang around" and infect the same places over and over again. Without the proper antibiotics and supportive care to help people recover, most people infected with, say, bubonic plague simply died - which means they couldn't have more children. Natural selection meant that people who got the plague, but whose biology was somehow resistant to the plague, were able to survive and go on to have children - these children would also be more likely to be resistant to the plague.
