Old World vs. New World “A “new world” exists, having blasted into existence from the technological explosion of the last 20 years. We are going to call this new world cyber-space. Cyber-space is very different from the traditional “old world” we are born into and live and die in every day. The differences between these two worlds is causing some very interesting and very serious challenges.” [1]. The Old World is a completely different world than this New World. This is a New World that needs to be re-evaluated, and somehow we need to get a grasp on it entirely. Within the Old World, you were born into it no matter what. You had no choice when it came to the Old World. To live in this Old World, you just have to simply be born into it. It does not…

family, which it divides into two subfamilies: Old World monkeys and New World monkeys (Bernal, 2013). The Old World monkeys can be found in Asia and Africa, while the New World monkeys are found in Central and South America (Bernal, 2013).

Between the late 15th century and the early 19th century, the native population in the Americas vanished. These are the dates of the Columbian Exchange, the large scale overseas exchange of plants, animals, diseases, and technology between the Old World and the New World. Perhaps the most impactful result of the Columbian Exchange on the Americas was the spread of Old World diseases into the New World, which caused a majority of the Native American deaths. Disease cannot solely be blamed for the…

Chapter 7: Old World Monkeys: The Leaf Eating Colobines Primate evolution of old world monkeys was carried out through adaptive replacement of successful species according to the fossil record. The old world monkeys are located in some parts of Africa and Asia, however their ancestors once inhabited Europe and Africa. Their distinguishable features from new world monkeys are their “downward-turned noses, flattened nails rather than claw-like, flexible thumbs, and a variety of bodily…

many important differences between the New and the Old Worlds, such as the sophistication (or lack thereof) of language (pg. 450), celestial events being marked by the stars or the horizon (pg. 542), and varying interests in large sailing vessels (pg. 455) – without which the New World would not have even been discovered.

Perhaps the most obvious ecological change in the Americas after the arrival of the Europeans was the introduction of a series of diseases that practically wiped out the American Indians by the thousands. Disease was undeniably the most powerful weapon wielded by European conquerors. Because they were American Indians were isolated from the rest of human civilization, “the fatal diseases diseases of the Old World killed more effectively in the New, and the comparatively benign diseases of the…

I think there is a huge difference between old world slavery and new world slavery. Old world slavery you were considered a servant. You paid a debt that you owed and you were able to go home once the debt was paid. It was not permanent. New world slavery was for profit and it was permanent.

I believe that Africans let…

different categories of monkeys; Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. It’s interesting that many differences arise between Old World monkeys and New World monkeys from generation to generation. Differences such as their anatomy, geography and group sizes are found in each subgroup. The struggle with distinguishing New World and Old World monkeys is that they share many similarities.
