Skeletal remains allow us to reflect on the lives of Neanderthals. For my article review I read about the diets of Neanderthals in Europe. I read “Neanderthal Exploitation of Marine Mammals in Gibraltar” written by C. B. Stringer. The article presents evidence located in two coastal sites in Gibraltar, suggesting that Neanderthals would hunt marine animals. The findings of skeletal remains of marine animals means that Neanderthals would regularly hunt down these animals, as opposed to accidentally

Why the Battle of the Somme is Regarded as a Great Military Tragedy On 1st July 1916, General Haig prepared the battle plan for an offensive on German lines, designed to relieve the strain on French forces at Verdun and break through a strong line of German defences.

Colonization of Gibraltar The Rock of Gibraltar towers over the land. Gibraltar has served both as a sacred sacrificial site to a towering fortress, and has shown up time and time again in European history.

This figure came in the form of Patrick Henry, a well-known American attorney who was willing to be the starting face of the revolution. With tensions in the colonies rising, many were willing to rebel against the newly implanted taxes imposed by the British. In his “Speech to the Virginia

From the early 15th century to the 18th century, there was much exploration of the world through naval and land expeditions. The Portuguese, for instance, navigated their way to the East in 1498, Spain discovered the route between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. This led to the rise of the global phenomenon called the Age of Discovery which led to the understanding of the shape and the distribution of land on the Earth. Mapping of the trade routes on seas and oceans acted as a guide and allowed

"Our Revolutionary Army took on the greatest superpower of the time," said Colin Powell, former United States Secretary of State and retired four-star general of the United States Army in an interview discussing the Revolutionary War. The British settlers in America became increasingly self-sufficient and felt the British Crown was forcing high tax and denying them their civil liberties.

the Official Journal of the EU , Gibraltar is neither part of the area without internal border controls nor of the customs territory of the European Union. Regarding the Area of freedom, security and justice in Title V of Part Three of the TFEU, Gibraltar is covered by the Protocol allowing the UK to opt into measures adopted regarding that Title, subject to the EU Council’s approval.

As technology brought more innovation in the lives of the Americans, it often forced out outdated products and replaced them with newer and higher quality items. One product which seems to be headed down this path is represented by the once very popular compact disc. The current project sets out to assess its position within
