The group I will tell you about is an early hunter-gatherer group that migrated to North America from Eurasia and ended up near the site of Blackwater Draw in New Mexico approximately 11,000 years ago. They used a tool technology called the Clovis industry. I will bring you into light of how they arrived at their main site or base camp. How they lived there, who they lived with, what they hunted and how they hunted it, also what their social networks were like. The migration to the New World was a very long process taking hundreds of years, the process went through many generations. The group had to evolve and change their ways of living to adapt to the different environments and weather that was changing (Crabtree & Campana). The group left their previous home and started their trek to the new world around 11,200 years ago. Following …show more content…
So while the winters were cold like in the past the summers were much warmer than usual. This caused the ice sheets that covered North America to gradually melt. The global air circulation was affected by the sun reflecting of the massive sheets of ice, this altered storm tracks that influenced precipitation patterns all over the world. Changes in rain patterns affected the distribution of plant and animal resources the hunter-gatherers depended on (Crabtree & Campana). Though there is much debate about how and why hunter-gathers came to the new world, it is an undeniable fact that they most certainly thrived here. They made such great use of the habitat like, plants they ate, where they made base camps at, how and what they hunted, and how they lived and socialized with each other. The Clovis technology that was first used in Blackwater Draw was one of the most complex and thought out tool industry in prehistory. The people of the New World really made it their
and come apart and allow for countless sheets of lava to be transferred out over the land (Hay, 1992). Through time the ice caps frequently collected and spread over enormous extents in North America. In this timeframe, movements to the south would occur making the ice push and relocate expansive quantities of soils and rocks. This movement effected how the great glacial streams would flow (Hay, 1992). With the extremely large rains and glacial ice melting valleys and flooding played a great role in the Pleistocene.
The transition from the traditional hunter gatherer societies, in to an agriculture based living system, has allowed humans to increase their population size, putting strains on the Earth’s environment. Agriculture has also brought along with it a decrease in women’s roles in the community, while also bringing about a class system where the wealthy rule, and were the weak and poor obey. As humans began to domesticate more plants and animals, they settled in permanent areas. The Change from hunter gatherer benefited few, but had dire consequences for the earth and groups with in it. One such consequence was the population increase, which has lead to major issues throughout history, and one that has ties to current global issues.
After leaving the Squol-quol Theresa worked for a number of years in Bellingham, located 10 miles southeast of the reservation. During these years she worked in the banking industry, at one point serving research and training assistant for a project to improve cultural understandings between the banking community and the Lummi Indian tribe. In 1975 her life took another important turn as she dedicated herself to the Lummi tribe’s effort to establish a fully accredited two-year tribal community college on the Lummi Indian reservation.
Prior to the “discovery” of the New World from the accounts of European explorers, Native Americans controlled the land. As explored in the article “1491” by Charles C. Mann, the natives achieved a complex and diverse culture. During the evolution of these people, they developed efficient agricultural methods that proved to be resilient. They can be lauded for the fact that “more than half the crops grown today were initially developed in the Americas” (Paragraph 33). While the Sumerians were inventing the wheel and writing, the Native Americans created a system that ultimately provided food for the rest of the world. Their advancements in farming fueled many people and generations to come. Another tremendous advancement in agricultural technique
With the climate change it allowed most animals and plants to survive. Now people didn’t have to go seek for food it came to them.
Adolf Hitler often proclaimed, “Whoever has the youth has the future.” This future would entail the most destructive war in history and the systematic murder of millions of people. This research will study how the Hitler Youth, a youth organization affiliated with the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi Party), affected the German population, particularly its members, from 1922 to 1945. Specifically, this research will examine how formal and informal Hitler Youth training influenced its experiencers’ decisions to acquiesce to and perpetrate the Holocaust. This research about the Hitler Youth’s effects on people’s behavior during the Holocaust will analyze the role of Nazism versus preexisting societal trends in cultivating genocidal mindset.
One of the major items native americans and the new world received was advanced technology to help them with hunting, and farming. One example of a technology was the plow. The plow helped many natives and europeans cultivate large amounts of land which made it easier to grow lots of crops. Because of the plow there was a greater number of crop fields and crop outputs that lead to establishment of towns and better economic growth. The final developed item were the weapons. Advanced weapons from europeans helped natives hunt and fish more conveniently. Weapons include, Firearms,Steel and iron knives, spears, and hatchets. The guns made it easier to kill larger animals, and one article states, “Weapons had such a profound impact on the Native American culture that they soon became the most widely traded goods between Europeans and Natives”(http://public.gettysburg.edu/). Weapons benefited the native americans because it allowed tribes to hunt easier using stronger weapons to kill animals quicker and more efficiently. This shows that technology given from the europeans helped the New world greatly because it made it easier to gain access to food which would increase life expectancy, and would also increase economic growth because the large
That made it a lot harder for the farmers to grow things. The wind blew all the remaining topsoil away. There were four droughts. Each drought came one after the other.
The first beginning we had hunter and gatherers, and that became something that everybody started doing. People would use resources around them, and they would not stay in permanent settlements. Than a new life began and it was called Emergence of Agriculture. People know started having permanent settlements, the population has became bigger, and their health might be becoming shaky. These changes might have been better or worse.
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
Changes in climate have affected the growth of crops. Particularly climate change has increased the amount precipitation fall in North Dakota.
The Hohokam culture of present day Arizona existed from 300 A.D. to 1200 A.D. The earliest Hohokam people lived in unusually large lodges possibly with their extended family. The Hohokam men, who were traditionally hunters, hunted large game with spears until the bow and arrow was introduced around 400-500 A.D. Throughout the culture’s lifespan, its geographical range expanded by at least three to four times. As the Hohokam culture expanded and their contacts with neighboring tribes increased, trade began to flourish. A surprising variety of products were
Throughout history climates have drastically changed. There have been shifts from warm climates to the Ice Ages (Cunningham & Cunningham, 2009, p.204). Evidence suggests there have been at least a dozen abrupt climate changes throughout the history of the earth. There are a few suspected reasons for these past climate changes. One reason may be that asteroids hitting the earth and volcanic eruptions caused some of them. A further assumption is that 22-year solar magnetic cycles and 11-year sunspot cycles played a part in the changes. A further possibility is that a regular shifting in the angle of the moon orbiting earth causing changing tides and atmospheric circulation affects the global climate (Cunningham & Cunningham, 2009,
They developed ongoing human inhabitance in the Western Hemisphere since the first hunters crossed Beringia until the first arrival of Europeans in 1492 and much further than that. Archaeologists named the first migrations and their descendants Paleo-Indians. A large amount of their history is still unknown due to the lack of a writing system. They did not use a system of writing, but they did have many spoken languages However, a good amount can be put together based off conclusions made from the artifacts the Ancient Americans left behind. The Ancient Americans were successful because of their ability to adapt. They adapted to new environments and climates. They were also able to modify themselves socially and culturally triggered by man-made changes. Their creativity and artistry was clearly shown in the artifacts they left behind. The diverse groups they came across along the way heavily influenced the attitudes of the Europeans arriving in 1492 in the New World. The Europeans wanted the wealth, work, and land the Natives had. At the same time, the Native American were infatuated with the technology the Europeans had such as there large ships, gunpowder and steel weapons. During the four hundred years after 1492, as the amount of foreigners increased, Native Americans and colonist encounters grew more common. Negotiations in order to keep
Approximately 2.5 million years ago humans lived as hunter-gatherers that would move in bands, later on, they would turn into the great civilization of the ancient world due to better technique and a more organized society. Starting from the neolithic age which consists of hunter-gatherers. There were basically early modern humans. Hunter-gatherers had populated a lot of the earth by 30,000 years ago, continued the hunter and gathering way of life. They would feed off of wild plants and animals and move from one location to another. They would also use the fur of their killings as clothes. In a hunting and gatherings economy, they would move from one location to another to secure their food supply. Hunter-gatherers were very self-sufficient.
