I believe you find that out at the same time you find out what happens to Enel if I recall correctly.

I'm only watch until eps. 197 now, it's when Luffy's crew fall from Sky Island, and landed on Marine Base. I know Enel left to the moon, but I think I miss something, or maybe it's explained in next episodes after episode 197?

It is from "Enels Great Space Operations" which is only a few covers. Most of the information (such as the three races) is from looking closely at ancient paintings on the walls.  Some of these details are speculations but do seem to be Oda's intentions.

@JTR, no it never occurs in the anime.  All of the images are on the wiki.  As it is in the manga, it is canon while (for instance) the landing in the marine base is not.

<p>I've just rewatched the Skypiea arc, and I realised that 400 years ago, before Jaya Island is blown up by Knocked-Up Stream, people from Shandia have wings.</p>

<p>People living in Sky Island also have wings, or it's more like people with wings are from Sky Island.
Like people in Skypiea, Enel's crew from Birka.</p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p>Urouge also has wings and he's also from an unnamed Sky Island. As we can see, he talks to Kaido before he jumps from Sky Island.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Then, why do people in Shandia also have wings, even before they blew up? Are they originally from another Sky Island?</p>

Are people from Shandia originally from Sky Island?
