Early Paleolithic People's Migration To California
The Early Paleolithic people had migrated to California because they needed to follow their food. The Early Paleolithic people ate mammoths, and the mammoths migrated to California to meet their conditions and to reproduce, so Paleolithic people had to follow their food. The early humans also migrated to California to get better food, get fresh water and clean water, so they can get better resources, and because California has better weather. The benefit of the Paleolithic people moving to California is that there are grasslands, rich soil, forests, clean water, and also amazing climate. These conditions were great for their food because they needed good weather and clean water, they also needed plants to eat the soil which was good and rich

    Since we don't actually know how Indian tribes, over 500 to 600 of them, got to California there have been three theories made. The most well- known, the Bering Strait theory, informed us that the tribes might have descended from northern Asia and migrated, crossing over a land bridge, from Siberia to Alaska. Another theory is the Multiple Migration theory, which told us that the Indians migrated from many places in different ways to arrive in California. In addition to these two theories there is the Indigenous Origin theory, which apprised us that the Indians had been to California since the first day of light when sky people fell to earth, as their ancestors came from a world below through a vertical tunnel. One of these tribes, the Yana tribe, was an independent tribe who had settled in Northern California between the Feather and Pit rivers.…

    I think that the chief reasons for the mass migration to California where based on a few different reasons. The first reason was because everyone was poor. They didn't have enough money to have the most basic necessities in life. They would even go to such lengths as to steal a neighbors house. No body was happy living in Oklahoma. They all had such hard lives that no one had time to do what they wanted to do. It was farm from sun up to sun down. That is what everyone did, and they didn't even get that much compensation for all the devotion that they put into their work day, after day, after day. If I worked at something for twelve hours a day, and just made hardly enough money to keep living, I would get quite frustrated and not be very happy at all.…

    Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, many Americans considered the lands west of the Mississippi as the "Great American Desert" and unfit for civilization. However, by the mid-1840s, migrants from the eastern United States transformed this vast desert into a fruitful land awaiting settlement and civilization known as the frontier. The development of the frontier was the result of the mass population of the many different regions of the far West. These regions were diverse in climate as well as in natural resources and, as a result, attracted different types of settlers (Doc I). The wide-ranging natural landscape of the far West offered promising lifestyles to those who chose the occupations of farmers,…

    Beringia Origin

    The original hypothesis of how Americans first came to be inhabited is traced backed to the ancient Siberians who crossed from Asia to Alaska by foot, over the land bridge across the Bering Sea. This land bridge was called Beringia, and existed during the final period of the last Ice Age, 15,000 years ago. This trip was possible due to the sea levels during the ice age being hundreds of feet lower than you would find today. During this great migration the Siberian immigrants trenched southward into what would now be considered the lower 48 states.

    The Coastal and Plateau Native Americans have different lifestyles in food, housing, and transportation because of where they lived. The Cascade Mountains separate the Coastal and Plateau tribes, and puts them into two different environments, caused by the rainshadow effect. Being in two different environments, means that both of the tribes are in different climates, which changes how they live. The Coastal live in a colder and wetter climate due to being so close to the Pacific Ocean. The Plateau tribe has a warmer and dryer climate since they are farther away.…

    Spanish wanted to colonize some of America, just like the Europeans. Building religious based Missions all throughout California was a way for them to maintain ultimate social, political, and economic control. Spanish explorers arrived on the border of California during the 16th century. The very first Franciscan mission was built in San Diego during 1769. By 1833, twenty two Spanish Missions existed from Southern California to Northern California. Native Americans made up about one-third of those who lived and worked at the Missions. There were an estimated 310,000 Indians living in California during the 16th century. The Spanish provided the Native Americans with the necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Although the California Missions had the right intentions of providing for the Native Americans, the Spanish acted in an inhumane and unfair way.…

    California wouldn’t become a state until 1850, but it people would still trek there in order to start their new life. In 1849 there would be a dramatic changes socially, because of the large amount colonization from “Gold Rush”. California became a more attractive place to settle once people found out it was rich with gold, which was very valuable at the time; Many people took their chances moving out there in hopes of finding their riches, but with all of this promise came a cost. Between 1849-1853, 50,000 immigrants had arrived, but were very diverse, since only one-third were Americans, and the rest came from China, Mexico, Chile, South American Countries, Great Britain, France and Australia. The westward expansion caused many social issues, because it was not safe place live, A Chilean migrant explained this: “We had no friends or relatives to lend a hand, personal safety could be found only at the barrel of a gun or the point of a dagger”. The expansion west proved to be a very dangerous venture, as it did not guarantee financial stability, because only a small percentage of Americans were able to make their fortune. Westward expansion caused many social issues to occur, because of the lack of government, it was nearly lawless, which made very risky to live in such a place, it didn’t…

    The Paleolithic Era, also known as the “old stone age” was a time where humans foraged hunted wild animals or gathered edible portions of wild plants. Nothing was stored because people were always on the move. they couldn’t take the extra weight. The Neolithic Era or the “new stone age” refers to a period of time where humans began refining their tools for use on domesticated plants and animals. It was during this time that people began to store dry or wet things in pottery due to the surplus of food that had to be stored. The beginning of the Neolithic Era was the Transition to Agriculture. Neolithic peoples wanted to secure themselves a more stable lifestyle with a sure income of food. Women of this time began to nurture plants and men began…

    The exchange of these plants and animals radically changed the diet and lifestyle of people in the Old and New World. The Americans offered maize (to China), which could produce more food per acre than its competitors except potatoes, but lacked certain amino acids and vitamins crucial for health. Also, required more water than wheat and other grains which would be a drawback for some civilizations. Potatoes were also very important because they could also produce more food per acre and they had almost four times the amount of rye. Offering a balanced nutrition that they could be eaten to the exclusion of almost all other foods. Considering grain had to be harvested and stored; potatoes could be left in the ground all winter and be dug up as needed. This meant it wouldn’t be that difficult to create a surplus of this crop for the people. They also had sugarcane, which was very important, imported from the staples of the plantations of the Caribbean, Central American and the reason for slavery. Plants such as wheat, olives, chickpeas, bananas and much more came from the Old World. For the introduction of animals, by the 1700s, 50 million wild horses and cattle roamed southern America, northern Mexico and the South west US. Many destroyed Amerindian farm settlements and raised environmental threats, however, wild cattle did provide people with meat and hides. The most striking affect on the cultures of the Amerindians…
