Curiosity And Innovation In Ivan Van Sertima's They Came Before Columbus

Improved Essays
In the book, They Came before Columbus by Ivan Van Sertima, he makes it clear that it is no easy task to just transplant a plant from one geographical location to another. This being said, he makes an inference about American cottons African descent. People are usually quick to assume that the African people were uncivilized and could not communicate effectively; we can now see that this was not the case. This information is significant because it proves that people were traveling across the waters long before we thought they were. People were not staying in one place and that goes to show the importance of curiosity and innovation. This is significant to Botany as a science because as plants are transplanted from one place to another, they

    As someone who is pursuing a business degree, I will have to agree that the Eli Whitney's cotton gin was good for the American economy. Even though the cotton gin reduced the labor involved in removing the seeds from the cotton bolls, it however did not reduce the necessity for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. As a matter of fact, the cotton gin produced an opposite affect. The cotton gin made cotton farming so profitable, that farmers greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.…

    The Civil War was inevitable because the North and South both had very different economies, the social and political developments separated them, and they tried to compromise multiple times but they failed, armed conflict was inevitable. Eli Whitney’s cotton gin speed the process of separating the seeds out of the cotton and this facilitated a boom and it became the leading export in the US.

Cotton was a cheap transcontinental economy product that was cultivated abundantly in the South it was cheap for domestic use and to export and a steady supply of raw materials for the industry in the North.…

    Thesis: Christopher Columbus was a man responsible for the decimation of three major civilizations, as well as the ultimate genocide of the indigenous peoples as a whole, one of the largest in human history. Columbus alone committed an array of horrific acts, using the Indians as sex slaves and extorting them for labor, stealing their land and goods, and hunting them for sport and dog food. His choices and treatment influenced how other would later view and deal with the Indians, eventually leading to their near extinction. Most of us know very little about the people who roamed our lands before we “discovered them”, and instead praise one man’s inaccurate claims. and that is why we should replace Columbus Day, which credits a man for deeds…

    Since plants were used to being surrounded by water, they had to adapt so that they would dry out. Most plants now contain a waxy covering over of the stems and leaves to prevent water from leaving or entering. All of these adaptations occurred over milions of years and each played a vital role in the successful colonization of land plants . Fungi and plants allowed each other to transition to terrestrial environments. Because the plant was able to adapt to the changes and conserve water more efficiently, it was then able to feed the fungi, which helped the plant…

    To start, I didn’t perceive Columbus as a reliable narrative writer. There was little writing of his experiences while on ground. I saw that Columbus (1493/2013) choose to convey his descriptions of the landscapes of the islands, and how he choose to name them after distinguished individuals from his homeland (in the Letter to Luis se Santangel Regarding the First Voyage)(Columbus, p. 25). In fact, I came under the impression that Columbus’s letters were not written in the spirit of transparency.…
