Immigrants In The Americas

Improved Essays
The Native Americans arrived in the Americas by the way of the Bering and Bridge. One of the main pieces evidences of that there are recorded footprints from Eastern Siberia and the same footprints on Beringia less than 20,000 years ago. That shows that there had to be a bridge for them to cross on because there is no way the same people went all the way around. Also, there is a bridge that is there today but is covered in water. That means when the water level was lower there was a bridge there for them to cross. This theory was first presented in the 1590’s but was not widely accepted until the 1930’s. As of 2008 they found more DNA showing that a single population of people would migrate from Siberia to Alaska. It seems to me that

    Why are humans not originally from North America? The reason is because their was no land connection from Asia to America at the time. Another thing is that the people living in Asia probably had no idea that North America existed. This ment that they had no desire to go move across and live there. Finally, back then they probably had no clue how to build a boat to travel that far, so even if they did know North America was there their was once again their was no way of getting over there.…

    Daily Life Of The Aztecs

    Daily Life of the Aztecs was an incredibly insightful and educational source of information regarding all aspects of Aztec life. One thing I found to be especially intriguing was how many similarities there are between the current day traditions of many different cultures and the traditions the Aztecs used to observe. Understandably, there are some major differences too, but the fact that we can still find ways to relate to people who lived centuries before us is pretty extraordinary. Before we discuss the daily lives and traditions of the Aztecs, it’s helpful to first find out where they came from. During the 13th and 14th centuries the Mexica, who we now know as the Aztecs, migrated to the Basin of Mexico (Carrasco, pg 19), but until…
