Apartheid is based on the Bantustan and migrant labor system, and the color bar.

Africans may be citizens only of these areas, which are poor and eroded and contain neither towns nor mineral resources. This poverty forces them to find work in the "white areas."

Accompanying facts are as remarkable as the closeup images. The ubiquitous orange monarch, for example, is the only true round-trip migrant among the world's 20,000 species. Although only one family of butterflies is called satyrs, most males exhibit an aggressive libido as soon as they emerge from the chrysalis-they can detect females by odor, flight signals, and ultraviolet waves imperceptible to the human eye. Any colors that...
