Three scientific findings clearly stood out to me. The first was the body of the little boy that was found. The records stated that the first attack of the indians was a boy who was killed. Centuries later, people find the remains of a boy who had a spear in his skeleton. That boy very easily could have been the boy that was killed first during the attack.…
GOLDEN GEOLOGIC HISTORY REPORT It all started with the Big Bang then the whole universe is formed, continued with the formation of the Milky Way, where there is a solar system with the planet Earth and then there were this little town called Golden. This is a report that will travel through time telling the stories of the incidents happened in to this town of Golden. During our journey we must note that the whole geological of Golden is tilted and there were mining done here.…
The Nenana and Denali complexes are two the earliest archaeological occupations in the North American continent The Nenana complex is characterized by the presence of Chindadn projectile points, which are small and tear drop-shaped to triangular in outline. They are stone tools which can be dated back to about 11,000B.P. and 11,800 B.P. The Denali complex are tools of wedge-shaped cores, micro blades , bifacial knives and burins.…
1491 is not exactly a chronological timeline or complete history of every aspect of “Pre-Columbus” America. Instead, the book is pieced into three parts that Mann believes to be the main points of his findings: Indian demography, Indian origins, and Indian ecology. Although this book is about the times before Columbus arrived, it spends the majority of the book revealing facts from times after Columbus arrived. Mann describes the reasons for this instance to be because many Native American cultures had no form of writing and recording their history and that the contact between the Europeans revealed the first person accounts of the living conditions of the natives. Mann also states that the contact between Europeans and Natives highlighted many aspects of the indigenous societies that weren’t clear before such accounts were…
With the use of a wide variety of sources required of any powerful reflection of an indigenous population Richter’s book, Facing East from Indian Country: A Native History of Early America, successfully extends the time period and geographic location of American history; retelling the story of the European-Indian encounter in North America east of the Mississippi (including Spanish Florida and French…
The water moccasin, North America's only venomous water snake, has a distinctive blocky, triangular head; a thick body; and a dangerous bite. Common names include variants on water moccasin, swamp moccasin, black moccasin, cottonmouth, gapper, or simply viper. Water Moccasins reach 30 to 48 inches, occasionally up to 74 inches. The back is dark olive or black, the belly is paler. The snout is always pale, and there is usually a dark vertical line by each nostril.…
The interesting voyages of Christopher Columbus will everlastingly be told and celebrated by many. Gloria Deák answers the inquiries concerning Columbus' noteworthy attempt to fill in the blank spaces on who he was, what he set out to fulfill, and where he succeeded. Deák depicts Columbus as an incredible mariner whose achievement in intersection the Atlantic Ocean was an unequaled feat of navigation. She goes on to clarify that almost no evidence is given to propose that he was the heroic Renaissance figure regularly portrayed in textbooks. She paints Columbus as a creative, fearless, and contained man of cruelty.…
1491 Essay- Singles 1491 by Charles Mann tackles controversial theories about the Native American population before the arrival of Columbus and other Europeans. His thesis supports the claims that there were more Indians in America than expected by scholars, that they came over at an earlier time, as well as the belief that they were more complex and that the Natives greatly controlled the land around them.…
During the early and mid 1400’s, before colonization, North America was inhabited by an enormous amount of diverse Native American tribes. These tribes were incredibly dispersed across the continent of North America, which resulted in Native Americans populating many different geographical regions. The introduction of settlers from Europe, especially Spain, caused the lives of these Native Americans to transform drastically. When analyzing the history of North American tribes, it is important to note the reasoning behind the susceptibility of Native Americans to European conquest as well as why these tribes were so distinctly unique from one another. After the ice ice age, the climate and geography of North America changed drastically.…
Red-Tailed Black Shark is a stunning fish, with a velvety- black body, a bright red tail, and a lovely streamlined shape. If you are going to keep a Black Shark in your aquarium, and I highly recommend that you do, only get one, because they get very aggressive towards others of their species. When they are younger they are relatively harmless, but as they got older and bigger they can get very cantankerous. You need to give your Black Shark plenty of hiding places to choose from, like a flowerpot on its side, or some rocks or bogwood it can hide behind, because Black Sharks do need their own space, and get very unhappy when they can't find a place to call their own. I have a shipwreck in my aquarium (an old ship made by my husband from a…
Most anthropologists today believe that the ancestors of all American Indians emigrated from northeastern Asia across the Bering land bridge during the Ice Age, between 12,000 and 60,000 years ago. Known as the Bering Strait theory, this idea is supported by geological and biological evidence. As water became locked up in the polar ice caps, sea levels dropped as much as 300 feet. The Bering Sea between Siberia and Alaska is no more than 180 feet deep and would have been dry land at those times. The land bridge, called Beringia, was open several times in the last 60,000 years.…
. In 1491 Mann seeks to shine light on the American populations that have often been underrepresented in traditional history texts. He first begins by laying out the foundations for the many empires and civilizations that he means to explore. He argues that throughout History, such examples as Holmberg’s mistake has been carried on and recreated all around the Americans by both contemporary explorers and later anthropologists. The underrepresentation is not primarily one of racism but as Mann has suggested that by the time explorers, conquerors and anthropologist had begun to interact with the native populations they had already been severely diminished by disease and civil war most often initiated by European presence.…
The fractional substitution models all keep up that advanced people initially developed in Africa and later moved to different parts of the world, which at last wiped out the hominins that were at that point living in alternate zones. In modules, it expresses "This model accept that the starting point of present day people was a speciation occasion, so there could be no advanced human/premodern human admixture" (Module). The fractional substitution models propose that interbreeding occurred after current people. These speculations are the principle hypotheses on how development happened. Archeological proof has been utilized to go down the halfway substitution display.…
According to Brandner, along the east coast of Mexico there are evidences of language and mathematical relationships in the pre-classic period, before 200 BC going back before eighteen hundred B.C., the period is much larger in terms of structural influences of the American and central American native peoples. It might be possible that some of the Maya migrated to Southeastern North America. A connection possibly as far west to Choco canyon and north up to Wisconsin then as far East as the Carolinas, where extensive archaeological excavations have taken place (Brandner 2014). For example, ancient Cherokee and Yuchi elders tell stories of how they migrated to the Carolinas and the south in four to five different migrations.…
Plate tectonics is the belief the lithosphere is separated into a few dozen plates that move around across the earth 's surface relative to each other, like big pieces of ice on a lake. If we were able to lay the earth flat to see where the plates were positioned, it would have the appearance of an orange peel; with the earth 's crust as the orange color shell and the white as the lithosphere. The break points would be fault lines, the plate’s outer perimeter that aligns and intersects them. In its early history, geologists believe that the continents and ocean basins of the earth did not move.…
