The First of Americans
Who were the first Americans where did they come from? In this movie we are going to talk about one of the greatest journeys that humans have made. This is a story of the first Americans. Do you know the lives of the early Americans was much harder than it is now? Back then, humans had to make their own clothes, tools, and weapons by hand from things they found in their environment. During the Wisconsin I say, which began around 70,000 years ago, there was a piece of land connecting Siberia and Alaska, which was called beringia. Was a land bridge that connected Siberia and Alaska. During this ice age, 97% of Canada was covered with ice. In order to understand how boring wash form, you must first understand the water cycle, the water cycle is to never ending cycle in which water moves around a Planet Earth from the ocean to cows and back to the ocean again. The amount of water I'm plain and earth has been the same for millions of years, a water is recycled through the water cycle.
One station the water cycle is evaporation. This happens when water vapor starts to rise because the heat of the sun which turns water into gas and rises into the sky. The next stage after evaporation is condensation, transition is when the gas from evaporation forms a cloud, then more water vapor collects in the cloud which forms water droplets. The next stage after condensation is precipitation, precipitation is when water vapors in a cloud get so heavy that the water droplets fall, so basically precipitation is rain, snow, or hail. The next stage after precipitation is collection, collection is when The Rain drops flow into streams and rivers, and those streams and rivers flow into seas and oceans. And evaporation begins again. Beringia was formed because the water cycle stop and sea level drop. The water cycle continues normally by the temperature drop so low water grows and stayed on lead instead of flowing back to the ocean, much of the oceans, water evaporated by the flow back to the ocean, so we'll see that one drop. These large frozen areas were known as glaciers, the dry land that used to be the button of the ocean is spurring gear. Around 20,000 years ago, the earth's temperature began to rise. This caused the ice age glaciers to begin to melt.
The water from the melting glaciers flow back into the seas, causing the oceans water levels to rise, eventually the land, area known as flooded and returned to the bottom of the ocean. This process took over 10,000 years, many early American tribes were living in brandy during this term. As boring as slowly flooded, they had to decide whether to continue traveling east into North America or return to Siberia before beringia their home was completely underwater. Those who decided to continue east with the first Americans. Some anthropologists think that the first Americans crossed beringia because they were following her of animals that were also crossing beringia. They traveled out for moving very slowly. This crossing took hundreds or thousands of years. Other anthropologists believe that the early Americans migrated from Siberia to Alaska by boat following a shoreline. They would have eaten mostly fish and camped along the shore, but no one knows for sure. During the last ice age, which in North America is called the Wisconsin. There were many different animals than there are in North America today. Some of these animals were the woolly mammoth. The saber toothed Tiger.
The giant ground sloth. The master dog. Giant beavers. Make sure face bear. American Lion. And a short horses. All of these animals are now extinct. When an animal or plant comes extinct, that means they no longer exist on a planet. They are all dead. The first north Americans were people who traveled across beringia in the North America. This is a group of hunters and gatherers. They are at their camp and beringia resting, making weapons, suing clothes, and keeping warm by the fire, bar was one of the greatest discoveries the early Americans made, Barr was important to help them keep warm in the cold ice age environment, and a cook their meat in order to kill germs and bacteria that would live on raw meat. This is a woman who's making a freak out to help keep warm. She's using the fur and height of the saber toothed Tiger, the hunter's kill lass season. He's using needle made a bone and the muscle tendons of a Caribou as thread to hold the coat together. Her drive is very important one for her survival for families. This is a hunter who is making weapons and other tools they will need to survive. Weapons and tools were important to them because they needed to hunt animals to get food to eat and get fur to make clothing to keep warm so they wouldn't freeze to death.
Another great discovery of these early Americans made was the ability to make tools from things they found in the local environment. They used sticks and stones and the bone tendons, and hides of animals they killed to make tools and weapons. These early Americans have run out of food, sold a hunters have to go hunting or they will starve. They have found a mammoth track so they plan to follow it in hopes of finding and killing the mammoth. A man is very hard to kill, it is about 5 meters or 16 feet tall at the shoulder, and weighed about 6 to 8 tons or 12 cells into 16 cells and pounds. The hunters follow the mammoths tracks for hours until they are ready to give up and return to camp, suddenly they hear a noise in the distance. I have. Yeah. After a hard battle, the hunters kill the mammoth. They will butcher the mammoth and take the meat bones and fur back to their camp. They went back to the camp and made fire because their campfire was out. They cooked the mammoth meat on a campfire to enjoy with the berries they just gathered. About 10,000 years ago, when the big ice age animals died out the hunters had to find new sources of food. Some people became gatherers where they went out looking for nuts, wild fruits, and berries. Some hunters started to hunt smaller animals.
Since smaller animals like rabbit and deer are harder to hunt, it was harder for hunters to find them. Talks have a really strong sense of smell, so the hunters used dogs to help them find the small animals. This made hunting a lot easier, farmers used to hunt small animals in the Woods, they also used stocks to protect the village, so wild animals wouldn't come into the village. Around 7000 years ago people started to learn how to plant seed, some of the first cross of pharma May or squash, chili and corn. They used sticks to make the holes in the ground, the farmers then dropped the seed and the whole, and then the farmer covered the hole with dirt. When it was necessary, they would water or weed the area. When farmers land to grow crops, they didn't have to go out and find berries and things as much. Since they could grow much of their own food. The people grew more crops as they learned more about farming. Calm was the most important crop. The farmers learned how to grow corn and deserts. My first and also in high mountains. The farmers built permanent houses near their fields. More people came into the villages, then even more people until the villages turned into many cities. Around 6000 BC, the early Americans lends to Mesquite animals, domesticating animals is keeping animals and pens or tied up in their villages so they wouldn't win away.
The benefits of this is so the early Americans went have to spend so much time hunting. Since people didn't hunt as much now, people had more time to learn how to make things. Some things people might make were clay pot, clothed or weed basket, when people spent so much time making one thing they became experts. This is called specialization. This woman's family specialized in growing corn, and she is trading with a man who specialized in weaving basket. During the last ice age, around 70,000 years ago, cold weather caused much of the ocean's water to freeze and glaciers. This exposed the ocean's floor between Siberia and Alaska, creating a land bridge that is known as beringia. Bahrain girl wash filled with large grass and fresh water, many types of animals roamed this hazard way feeding on patches of grass, hunters, fathered this hurt of animals to get fresh meat for their family.
Around ten to 15,000 years ago, the earth temperature started to warm back up and the glaciers started to melt this cause burned to flood. About 7000 years ago, farming began. In people started to domesticate animals. This caused humans to stay in one area and not move around all the time. They had more time to become experts in trade such as farming, building homes, making clothes, and even creating art. In these people became the Native Americans that we know of today.
