Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable

The Founding of A City Undeniably rooted in each human soul is the deep seated desire to leave the indelible mark of one 's self behind. But an entire city? Now that really is exceptional! When Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable set out on his journey, I 'm sure he had no idea that would be, ultimately, where his travels would end. Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable was born, at best estimates, sometime between 1745 and 1750 in the small port town of the then French colony of Saint - Dominique.

Theory. Alfred Wallace was developing a theory that was just as similar to that of Charles Darwin. Variations are the key concepts that are studied in both of Wallace’s and Darwin’s. The reason this is done is, because variations help to identify why the species evolve. Wallace’s theory does differ from Darwin 's. Wallace’s theory shows that a species will only take on an adaptation if it will be beneficial to the species survival. Now, for the evolutional theory the adaptation is not just a…

Lamarck’s recognition of the dynamic nature of life in the past made an important contribution to the development of evolutionary theory” (Larson 30). Besides, there is another evidence in the textbook, “Chevalier de Lamarck, speculated that plants and animals not only change in form over time but do so for purposes of self-improvement” (Larson 29).

The word “teche” may be derived from the Chitimacha word for “snake”, and some say the Great River will one day avenge the serpent. The term recalls the pre-colonial history of the land, where near present-day city limits there was an Attakapas Indian settlement. When the first census of the then Attakapas district was taken in 1766 there were already…
