History 1301 Exam 1 Review

For many years there has been a debate over where modern humans originated from. The first theory, out of Africa, discusses modern humans evolving in Africa. They migrated out to Eurasia and as the time went on their species evolved independently and developed into distinct species. All other human populations were eventually replaced with no interbreeding involved in the process and Homo sapiens had successfully dominated the rest of the world. On the other hand, the second theory, regional continuity, says that our earliest hominid ancestors had departed Africa and spread into other parts of the world later evolving into modern human beings. In this paper I will discuss the Regional continuity theory and elaborating on the Out of Africa theory. Evidence based on fossils, artifacts, and other crucial components will be discussed. Based on the evidence found I will come to a conclusion as to which theory I think best fits the origins of humans.

Next where did the humans originate from? Humans originated from Africa. But why? The reason the humans where in Africa was because they were following their food or game and they migrated. They were also called nomads because they did not stay in one place they moved around and made their way here.

Humans first originated at Africa and then they were nomads so when they food is gone they follow it so then they found now known Egypt. After that when they food was gone they found Asia and China and populated there and still making the food go causing them

The nature of British America’s commercial empire in the eighteenth century was disclose with Alexander Falconbridge and Vision of America textbook passages along with the transatlantic slave trade database. The English Empire was built on cash crop exportation such as tobacco, rice, and sugar. A colonist in the most important settlements set themselves in plantations. “By the early eighteenth century, expanding trade with the British Empire increased the number of wealthy colonists and brought a flood of new luxury goods into affluent American Homes.” Obtaining new luxury goods allowed individual to feel as if they are part of something bigger. Attaining goods such as new “Refined taste was proof of gentility, a term that became synonymous with the attributes associated with wealth and sophistication.” With the idea of wealth and sophistication, slaves became in high demand for profits to the new world.

Humans began in Africa,they started using stone tools and fire to cook their food. They were hunters and gatherers, they gathered berries and other plants and hunted deer and other animals for meat. Humans then migrated to Asia and Europe, they spread across the continent. “ Genetic evidence suggests that soon after leaving Africa, they interbred to some extent with the Neanderthals and a mysterious population in Asia called the

How humans got to America is a common question among social studies topic. However, we should first discuss where they came from. Humans originated from Africa which is a place that has the oldest known records of human fossils. If other, older fossils were found, this won’t be so humans couldn’t have from the americas.

During the Ice Age many early humans migrated to follow animal herds as a source for food. Homo Sapiens could have evolved apart from the Homo Erectus, who

Where did humans come from? Humans came from the places where bengia existed, bengia existed in North America and Asia. So humans came from North America and Asia.

During the seventeenth century there was a large amount of change occurring in America. Much of this change included political, social, religious and economic issues throughout colonial America. These issues led to social tension and economic growth. During this time there was also controversy in Massachusetts that dealt with witchcraft. Although, much change was occurring at this time, both bad and good, white newcomers were gaining the benefits of this growth throughout the North and South lands. In this essay I will explain the social views of women, slavery, farming and trading, changes in the religious world and the witchcraft trials. This essay will provide a better understanding of the growth and change America went through

Humans first originated from modern-day Africa and close to Iraq where the Garden of Eden was supposed. Then the humans started to migrate and follow food these were called Nomads. They moved out to China and other parts of Asia.

23,000 years ago there was a period of intense cold on our planet. This period caused the creation of the Siberia-Alaska land bridge and also the huge glacial area that cut off Alaska from North America (Wade). Scientists have found that 13,000 years ago, the same huge glacial area in the northwest, melted enough for a group called the Clovis people to migrate the 900-mile long corridor into America. We previously believed that Clovis people were the earliest humans in the Americas but that theory has recently been challenged.

1. Migration from Asia – First wave of Americans came from Asia during the last Ice Age, sometime between 13,000 and 3000 b.c., over a 100-mile bridge that connected Siberia and Alaska. Subsequent movements brought people who would be ancestors to the Navajos, Apaches, and Eskimos.

During the video Journey of Man, Spencer Wells discuses that all scientific evidence points to mankind originating in Africa. A tribe called Shaun Bushman, has a man from the blood line of one our greatest ancestor. The journey started in Africa and spread throughout the world, but water did limit where man could travel. When the water levels lowered, man was able to cross over to different continents. And it is still a mystery how man traveled to Australia.

The Early human migration was an event that eventually led to all of the known world’s current human population and their various locations. Homo erectus (before Homo sapiens) began their journey by migrating through both the Levantine corridor and the Horn of Africa all the way to Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene. However, if we are to look at Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, it is believed that they retreated back to Africa and did not proceed to go east across Asia until approximately 75,000 years ago. They achieved this by wandering across the Bab el Mandib connecting Ethiopia and Yemen. But, what caused them to make the journey across such vast lands? Why bother making it at all? The answers to these questions can even be seen in the world of today. War, Climate change, lack of food, and diseases are all reasons as to why the migration proceeded. As soon as the risk of remaining in their current location exceeded the dangers of venturing to new lands it was determined that moving on was the best option. This migration was begun through the hopes of an

Studying the history of early humanity can come with many questions. For example, the earliest humans migrated to the Americas by crossing a land bridge at Bering Strait during the last ice age. However, the oldest known human settlement is found in South America. The reason why is not entirely clear, but pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
