1. Anthropologist had believed that the Clovis people were the first aboriginal/indigenous people settle in the Americas about 13,000 years ago, based on the ideologies that they either crossed through the Bering Strait Bridge or came off the coast of the Americas. It is believed that many groups of the natives diverged from the Clovis people. However due to other facts, anthropologist are reconsidering if they were the first people to have arrived in the Americas. There is anthropological evidence that there are people who arrived in the Americas 50,000 years ago way before the Clovis people. Archeologist found a charcoal that was dated 50,000 years ago, before the Clovis period but it is argued that this charcoal that has been found was not
* According to anthropologists, where did the first human beings live? Why did they leave that place? How did they get to North America?
In the documentary Ancient Voices “Tracking the First Americans” the argument made is Who were the first Americans? They came up with the conclusion that the first Americans were descendants of Australian Aborigines. The evidence provided are prehistoric skulls one being named Lucia she is known as being the first American and what was so special about her was the facial features she possessed which matched closely to the people of Australians and Melanesia. Also images of Armadillos that died out way before the last Ice
Indians arrived in America some 30,000 to 40,000 years ago. Archeological findings and Radiocarbon testing suggested that the prehistoric people who populated the Americas were hunters following the herds of wooly mammoths. They walked from Siberia across a land bridge into Alaska. They headed south toward warmer climates, slaughtering the mammoths as they went. As the glaciers melted, the oceans rose and covered this land bridge, creating the present-day Bering Strait and separating Alaska from Russia. By the time Christopher Columbus arrived, they were millions of what might be called First Americans or Amerindians occupying the two continents of Americas. The first noted documentation of the Beringia theory of the peopling of North America was by Jose de
Long before Laredo existed, this area had some semblance of law and order. Native American bands of our region lived in accord with their own tribal laws. Chiefs oversaw maintenance of these, which were easily enforced in a society of hunter warriors. Each had individual responsibilities to the tribe. Thus it was among Carrizo, Lipan Apache, and Comanche, who roamed this stretch of the Rio Grande River that a tradition of concern for law and order, and public safety was established which serves as the bedrock for our law enforcement and public safety function today. In Laredo’s early days, the “Alcalde” was often the local militia captain. Every able-bodied man served in the militia company, ready to ride in response to any emergency. This
The first settlers in the Americas were not all Europeans and Africans. Many settlers spoke a variety of different languages and lived in numerous different kinds of societies. In most cases many were descendants of bands of hunters and fishers who had also crossed the Bering Strait thru a land bridge at various times between 15,000- 60,000 years ago. Others might have arrived by sea from Asia, and the Pacific Islands. However, history in North and South America did not start with the approaching of the Europeans.
2.How long had Native Americans lived on the North American continent before the first Europeans arrived?
According to the standard accepted theory, the Clovis people were the first inhabitants of the Americas. The Clovis people crossed the Beringia land bridge during the period of the last ice age, from there they spread across the Americas through an ice free-corridor. However, recent finding have suggested that the first people did not walk to America but came by boat. This paper will examine evidence found in Haida Gwaii and other sites along North and South America that supports a different view of human migration to the Americas, the coastal migration theory.
Hundreds of years ago, the Native Americans were known to be the first people on the land of America. To be specific on who the natives are the Mandan they lived where Cannonball and Missouri rivers meet together.
Before the Americans and the Spanish there were many indigenous Indian tribes living and thriving with structure and culture in California. The Paleo-Indians were the first people who entered and inhabited the American continent from Asia during the late Pleistocene period (2
There is, however, much debate as to when the first Asian peoples migrated to North America. Modern research has revealed that during the height
Roughly 16,000- 40,000 years ago a group of nomadic people known as the Paleo-Indians who are the ancestors of the Native Americans followed the herds of animals from Siberia to Alaska across a land bridge called Beringia that connected Asia to North America (Mintz & McNeil, 2013). The land bridge that was used has been covered by water due to the rise of the Bering and Chukchi Seas (United States National Parks Services [NPS], 2014). The timeline for this journey has been in question because nothing was recorded so archeologists have an approximate time this took place. By the year 8,000 B.C.E these nomadic people spread and settled into different tribes throughout North and South America
The administration of criminal justice and the operation of criminal process play an important role in our ever-changing society. The current structure of the New South Wales criminal justice system, as described by leading critic Doreen McBarnet as the ‘two tiers of justice’, has attracted many critiques namely the ideology of triviality, summary offence punishment and other legal notions such as technocratic justice. I have applied the above concepts during the course of my observation to Local, District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales in April 2016. The following report will assess the validity of the above concepts at a practical level in light with my observation and research, drawing intrinsic links between two tiers of justice and technocratic justice, and concluding with the two tiers of justice as a necessary framework in our modern criminal justice system.
Despite unnecessary changes to plot and some flawed character portrayals, Nicholas Hytner’s 1996 film adaptation of Arthur Miller’s 1953 play, The Crucible, is overall a viable adaptation of Miller’s original work. Many of the directorial changes made by Hytner in creating this screenplay are successful in further emphasising Miller’s central ideas. The characterisation of Abigail Williams is captured appropriately in the film displaying her overall manipulative nature by drawing extensively on the original text, thus exploring Miller’s idea of the use of hysteria and rumour in order to seek personal vengeance. Hytner’s depiction of Salem is well represented and the use of space, both outdoor and indoor, helps to visually depict Miller’s
During the election we had seen many sides of Hillary and her crazy comments, but have we seen the real side of Hillary Clinton? The truth is Hillary has spent over 10 years in a mental institution when she got out of college. Hillary would have mental breakdowns and would get very violent. Hillary has been seen talking to herself and playing childish games with her self also. Hillary’s family has said she has been taking medication since she was 14 years old. Her husband and daughter don’t feel safe around her and has called the cops a dozen times to help control her anger.
Civilization in the Americas originated as early as 7000 B.C. as a result of a land bridge between Asia and the Americas, formed when the Bering Strait—connecting current day Russia with Alaska—united the two continents during the Ice Age. The humans who crossed the land bridge, mostly hunter-gatherers, eventually developed advanced civilizations throughout North and South America. By around 900 B.C., the Olmec civilization—one of the first advanced civilizations in the Americas—populated parts of Mexico and Central America, where they developed advancements such as building the first pyramids. About 200 years later, descendants of the Olmecs emerged—the Maya, Zapotec, Totonac, and Teotihuacán civilizations. Over time, the Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas emerged as subsequent descendants of the first humans who populated the Americas.
