The atlatl made it so a single person could take down a mammoth or mastodon without getting squashed or killed in other ways. The fire also helped when hunting, it could scare the animals towards the hunter or the trap set up for the animal. Fire also helped to cook the meat from their hunts and keep them warm. By keeping

“The Real People” Most believe that Native American live deep within temperate forests, but one tribe lives within a much colder and frigid climate. This tribe is known as the Inuits. Inuit means “The Real People” (Santella 5). A group of Inuits traveled to the Americas from Asia, and they went towards the north pole. They eventually settled in the Arctic regions and began to thrive (7). They are widely dispersed throughout the Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian, and Greenland regions (6). The Inuits have

did hundreds of years ago. Scientists first theorized the concept of extinction in the late 18th century. In this chapter the book also talked about how a naturalist named Georges Cuvier studied the fossils of an extinct animal called the American Mastodon, or Mammut Americanum, and decided that this creature, like many others, must have all died in the past. In his lifetime, many of Cuvier’s ideas about extinction were harshly criticized, but now, hundreds of years later, Cuvier is praised for

Americans started to hunt in the wider areas and supply their community with a lot of meat. When people started to have more food, especially meat that caused a fast growth of population. For some unknown reasons, at the same time big mammals and mastodons started to disappear from the Earth. It is a possibility that the climate warming and lack of water sources played a role of the disappearance these big animals. Lack of water put animals in the situation when survival is not possible. The climate

rhetorical device of apposition—the second element serves as an explanation of the first.[3] The whole first strophe can be interpreted as ethos, an attempt to establish credibility as if uttering: “Look, we have been here since before dinosaurs and mastodons,

“ Dog Breaks Out 1000 lb Sled” In Dawson at a bar, Eldorado Saloon, on January 15, 1898 at 3:00 pm, a sled dog named Buck broke out a sled weighing 1000 lb. He had to pull it an exhilarating 100 yards. Three men were arguing about how much their sled dogs could break out. Then a man named John Thorton who owns Buck jumps into the conversation. “That’s not a lot compared to how much Buck here can start.” He said indiscreetly. Right then the bet was on. Buck had to break out a 1000 lb sled and

In chapter 11 of The Sixth Extinction, Elizabeth Kolbert finds herself at the Cincinnati Zoo where she is told by Dr. Terri Roth that the Sumatran rhinos are going extinct. This also explains Dr. Roth’s numerous attempts to inseminate Suci, a Sumatran rhinoceros, artificially, but ultimately fails. Kolbert proceeds to talk about the history of the Sumatran rhinoceros, which were very common in the Himalayas, Borneo, and Sumatra. Apparently, a small number of rhinos were sent to American zoos in hopes

They lived in Tahlequah, Oklahoma the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee people never lived in tipis. The Plains Indians lived in these, as they were able to be moved when following herds and hunting. The Cherokee people historically lived in houses made of mud and clay with roofs of brush and river came . In the winter time, they lived in even smaller clay and mud houses which included the construction of the roof, as well , in

Being informed about what is going on around the world, for example how the sixth mass extinction has and is occurring, is exactly what Elizabeth Kolbert teaches in the book The Sixth Extinction. I can honestly say that I did not know that there were all these mechanisms of extinction going on. The mechanisms that Kolbert addresses in this book are invasive species, catastrophe, human overexploitation of resources, ocean acidification, and habitat fragmentation. Invasive species are an important
