There are strong evidences that prove that the U.S economy is in its best year compared to three years ago. The growth of jobs, the slight increase of wages, and the low price of oil have truly helped the U.S economy recover.

About 2 million years ago, in North America, the grand glaciers laid the land of Canada and the United States, southbound as far as from Pennsylvania all the way to the Pacific Northwest. Recently, about 135 million to 25 million years ago, four massive ranges—the Rockies, the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, and the Coast Ranges, arose in western North America. About 35000 years ago, the ancestors of the Native Americans, the nomadic Asian hunters, first

This event has made certain races of humans very suitable for particular environments. By the process of natural selection, each race of humans have dominant traits that increases their reproductive success. However, in this current time the world has become more connected. This has caused many changes in the environment, which is affecting in a negative way to certain demographics of people more than others. A huge example of this can be view on the native nation of Tohono O’odham and the changes during the decades of the area of Arizona.

By the time European explorers arrived in America, scholars estimate that over 50 million people were already living in the Americas, with 10 million in the area later to be known as the United States. As time passed, these Native Americans traveled from Alaska to the south and east of America, adapting to the new landscape around them. In order to keep track of the different groups, anthropologists and geographers divided them into “culture areas,” which are groupings of contiguous peoples who share similar habitats and characteristics. North America, excluding Mexico, is broken into 10 separate culture areas: the Arctic, the Subarctic, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Plains, the Southwest, the Great Basin, California, the Northwest Coast and the Plateau (Native American Cultures).
