Ancient Man and the Disco Ball Essay One) Thousands of years ago, primitive man walked the earth very similarly to the way he does today. We can discern this from the cultures that remain nearly intact from that time, and by analyzing what remains from those ancient peoples. Technologies change, making life easier for people, and ensuring the survival of the species (things like medicine and modern farming techniques), but the people themselves change very little. Ethnographically, people
There are a bunch of theories going around about how the first people got to America. Such as the Coastal Migration theory, the Solutrean theory, and the Open Ocean theory. It’s also possible that all these could be true. But, the information is going to be proving about which one is the most plausible and which ones aren’t very possible. The most widely accepted theory known as the Beringia theory. It states that the first people crossed the Bering Land Bridge(due to the animals), located
The Neanderthals lived in areas ranging from Western Europe through central Asia from about 200,000 to between 36,000 and 24,000 years ago. The Neanderthals lived in groups of 30 to 50 individuals, they invented many of the tool types that were to be perfected by fully sapient peoples, they had weapons adequate to deal with both the cave lion and cave bear, they used body paint, buried their dead. Neanderthal Man survived through the Ice Age. They are thought to have had fire. Neanderthals lived
Throughout the 20th century, the Coastal Migration Theory, the “Kelp Highway,” suggested that some of the First Americans colonized the New World by navigating along the North Pacific coastlines from Asia into North and South America. This theory was considered highly unlikely by most archaeologists who at the time did not have access to advanced technology that reliably dated faunal remains. Moreover, archaeologists lacked recent discoveries that supported the Coastal Migration Theory. The evidence
addition, it also has depictions of horses, bison, deer and mammoths associated with Solutrean art. Altamira Cave: Found in the province of Santander, Spain. This cave dates back to 35,000
This article focused mainly the emergence of the first people in America: Who they are, where they came from and how they got to America. He discussed three main routes as to how they arrived in America, none of which were without criticisms. In trying to determine whom the first people in America are, Hadingham began with the Clovis points and their creators, the Clovis people, who lived about 12,500 to 13,500 years ago, and tried to trace their origin. According to the article, a Gault site
Introduction People arrived in North America around 14,000 BP (BP = Before Present). Evidence for the arrival of Homo sapiens is found throughout the Bering Strait (then Beringia), Siberia, and Alaska. Homo sapiens arrived through Beringia, most likely through the boat, despite the lack of evidence. Homo sapiens are said to have originally rooted in Africa; from Africa, Homo sapiens migrated north into Europe and Asia over the course of 10,000 years and then over to North America followed by South
The History of Indigenous Peoples in America Native American is the term used for the indigenous peoples of North America who first migrated to this area thousands of years ago. The term Native American actually includes several tribes, states, and ethnic groups some of which are still recognized in today’s modern society. Most of the scientific world agrees that the first indigenous peoples crossed the Bering Straight by way of Siberia about 12,000 years ago. The precise route that the first
