WHERE DID THE FIRST AMERICANS COME FROM?

WHERE DID THE FIRST AMERICANS COME FROM?

According to research, human beings have been moving from Eastern to Southern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. During this time, they have traveled to Europe and Asia populating a new world. However, the big question is, how did human beings land in America when it is so far from away from the other continents? Anthropologists argue that millions of years ago, human beings originated in what today is Ethiopia and Somalia. Scientists have studied fossils and trails that predict humans crossing a land bridge between Asia and North America around 23,000 years ago. This land bridge was a land that connected Asia and America together.

There are many theories about where humans originated from to the new world, but thanks to the DNA analysis, there is now likely an answer. A new scientific study analyzed the human genome from 31 Native people and found that 23, 000 years ago people moved from Siberia to North America, which eventually split into two groups. One group moved to North America while the second group moved to Central and South America. The genetic information also found that Native Americans had a small mix of genes from East Asians and Australo Melanesians Australoid. The Melanesians consisted of two racial classifications which consisted of Southeast Asian, Papua New Guineans, Solomon, Islanders, Vanuatuans and Indigenous Australians. Furthermore, this explains how human beings traveled so far from their origin and many different populated places. History has allowed to study why some people have stayed and others have continued their journey elsewhere. In conclusion, we can see how human beings slowly but surely began conquering the world. 

When did the first Americans arrive?

This video is about an explanation of how scientists thought the first Americans arrive, so the first thinking was that there was a time when all part of the Americas was covered by ice creating a hard surface making it possible for people from Asia to walk from there over here, that fact was explained by an archeologist; but because of some things found in Cabo Verde (Chile) that said those people arrived earlier than what they thought, it makes them wonder how was that possible because what they have from their investigations don’t match with the results found, leaving them with no precise information about the first Americans arrival and so many questions without exact answers.

They hope the answer will be found in the future but now they don’t have it, they just have some incomplete and maybe some possible answers for that question.

Where the First Americans came from

Many people were thinking about where the first people get to the new world. It has taken a couple million years to spread across the plant. Humans lived in Africa. However, Modern humans left Africa but not long afterward. Scientists used the fossil to follow humans’ movements. Humans moved from East Africa to South Africa onto the Arabian Peninsula. After thousands of years, Modern Homo Sapiens migrated throughout Europe and Asia. Supplanting or interbreeding with population of Neanderthals or Homo. So, modern humans moved to the New World and populated there. The scientists were thinking about how humans made it over there, because the map makes it look so far has been a puzzle without many hypotheses. Before DNA, scientists looked at fossil and traits and geologic record and theorized humans moved onto to land bridge which found between Asia and North America. The Bering land bridge land probably conjures pictures of well, a tiny little bridge. However, the bridge is a huge. It is called The Bering Plain. It is also connecting the two continents Asia and North America. People moved onto the bridge 23,000 years ago, then they moved off the bridge maybe 15,000 years ago. New science has confirmed most of the Bering land bridge theory and how the first people or Native Americans found their way into this continent. Since 2003, sciences have baseline about Native Americans. They moved from Siberia in a single wave and settled in the North for thousands of years. They split into two groups about 13,000 years ago. One group settled throughout North America and while the other settled in the Central and South America. According to the genetic information, Native Americans have a small mix of genes from East Asians and Australo-Melanesians. Today, more than 80 percent of our planet has seen influence from humans activity.

boooooooooooooooooooooooooyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 The video was about native Americans, where and when did they come from. They are from Asia and north east Asia. There was a big iceage 11 thousand years before, so  people think Asians started to immigrate to America after the ice melts. However, archaeologists found skulls. They invastigated the radiocarbon dating the skulls are older than the iceage. Therefore, archaeologists concluded that the Asians immigrated before the iceage and the shores which were not frozen during the iceage. I also think people had immigrated before iceage started because Russia and America is not so far. Even early Asians did not have a technology to make an airplane, but at least they could walk a frozen sea..

History of Native American.

Americas have been occupied for nearly 40 thousand years by humans, and within these years, civilizations have been created terrific by people, which made them equal with other continents. In North America, Pueblo Indian hunted the mammoths and mastodons. They were substituted by ancient Indians who abandoned behind the noticeable cave art, to some extent one instance they hunted American buffalo. However, before the Europeans arrived in 1492, agrarian conversion was almost entirely due to the hunters and gatherers because they were directing communities to agricultural cultures. Also, cities in the east side of America flourished as a part of the hill constructing culture when Indian people expanded across North America. The southwest, the Anasazi and their contemporary culture and built a remarkable housing alike. Then in a historical blink of an eye, they all disappeared, and they were replaced by the formation of the tribes in the region at the beginning of the 17th century, many of which then disappeared as a result of European diseases. At the same time, the Europeans widened across the continent. In the 18th century occurred, two events on the North America that transformed the human more peaceful, created a new country which is the United States and created a new type of Indian culture which is the warrior horse culture. Indians were interested in two types of big mammals, the first was horses which came from Europe, and the other was the buffalo, which is one of the original inhabitants of the American continent. Native American tribes hunted the buffalo on foot for 10,000 years, but that changed when the Europeans and their horses arrived. In 1680 the Spanish ran away and left behind them, their sheep, cattle and horses, after the Pueblo Indians rose up against the Spanish overlords. The horse gave the vehicle, and the buffalo gave a practically unlimited supply of excellent protein giving the tribes willing to adventure onto the steppes. Unlike the other horse cultures, the Navajo and Apache were part of an extremely considerable sub-arctic group mostly indicated to as the Athabaskan, their ancestral home covered a large part of Canada’s Northwest territory. The Navajo and Apache moved into their eighteenth and nineteenth century native lands, before the arrival of the Europeans in the sixteenth century. According to anthropological records, these people lived in small nomadic family groups and hunted caribou. In between 900 and 1400 AD a group identified as the southern at an Athabaskan migrated south into present-day west Texas, New Mexico and Arizona when the Spanish arrived in 1540. Because of their proximity to the Spanish, the Navajo and the Apache were the first two teams’ horses. Actually, in 1659 the Navajo were the first Indians attack Europeans by using horses. In addition, the woman was the most important person in Navajo family, she owned the land, the home, and the livestock. Also, the Navajo life revolved about the family, as well as religious ceremonies, one of the most significant was a healing ceremony known as the night way.

A muslim is to be buried similar in the same manner in which he or she appeared on this earth – clean shaven. And only those closest to the deceased would be entrusted and undertake such a private final act. The body will also be washed in a similar manner as when a muslim makes ablutions for prayer. The body will be shrouded in clean white sheets which are referred to as kafan.At the cemetery, the body will be placed in a simple grave. It is typical for graves to not be marked with tombstones in Saudi Arabia.Finally, we have 3 days after the funeral that the relatives accept the deceased’s friends or anyone. And they can bring food or anything in order to reduce their pain. Also during the 3 days praying is what they mostly do.

Sombrero Vueltiao (Spanish), Colombian Hat.

Sombrero Vueltiao (Spanish), Colombian Hat.

There is only a couple of tribes in Colombia who can make an original sombrero Vueltiao. Those tribes are ancient indigenous tribes that have been in Colombia since 200 B.C. The Colombian hat is the national symbol made by from a special cane that it can only be found in specific places in Colombia. The cane is cut into stripes which are then are processed, dried, and dyed naturally. Finally, the makers start to make braids with the stripes and they create figures with the dried and dyed ones. The process to make an original hat is painstakingly and carefully handmade and it can take at least one month to finish it. Traditionally, when the folk maker of the tribe is going to make the hat, the maker must know the person. This is due to the fact the maker can feel the spirit of the person in order to know what kind of figures correspond to his hat. Therefore, because of this, each original hat is unique in the word and it represent something very important for the tribe and for the person who gets the hat.

The original sombrero vueltiao can only in the places where the tribe are and those hats are not for marketing. However, if you can get one, it costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Therefore, due to the material, the hat is very flexible, durable, and with physical proprieties unique from other material.

Nowadays, this hat  can be found anywhere in Colombia for a low cost. These hats are made from plastic, paper, woven material, and more. Furthermore, they are used specifically in festivals and carnivals as a representation of the Colombian culture.
