          Abstract

          Apresenta-se um breve panorama das principais teorias biogeográficas, mostrando como o conhecimento acumulado por naturalistas viajantes foi responsável por seu teste e eventual rejeição. Enfatiza-se a importância de se conhecerem os relatos dos antigos viajantes e naturalistas, para avaliar o quão severa foi a ação antrópica sobre a distribuição geográfica de alguns grupos de vertebrados.

          Translated abstract

          This article shows a brief panorama of the most important biogeographic theories and how scientific knowledge rendered by travelling naturalists plays a relevant role in testing and sometimes rejecting some of these theories. The article also emphasizes the importance of becoming familiar with past travellers' and naturalists' reports in order to understand how severe human action was in geographically distributing some vertebrate groups.
