1. The history of civilization in Canada isn’t
very long compared with other areas of the
world that are heavily populated today. Archeologists
haven’t found any fossils any
older than around 30,000 years old. That
probably indicates there were no earlier
forms of humans in Canada as there were in
Africa, for instance. Of course, the weather
wasn’t very hospitable to people because the
last ice age only ended several thousand
years ago. Meanwhile, complex societies
based on agriculture were developing in
Mexico.

new. It had taken two jobs, nine months, and a lot of hard work, but Marcus had
been able to pay cash for his car. Marcus merely dried the car in ten minutes. Grabbing
the keys, Marcus was ready for a road trip. It was time to hit the road!
