1 answer:

3 0

Delaware was the first of the original thirteen colonies to ratify the Constitution and become a state on December 7, 1787. Rhode Island became the last of the original 13 colonies to become a state on May 29, 1790, three years later.

In 1791, Vermont became the 14th state and the first new state that was not a founding colony. When Hawaii was admitted as the 50th state on August 21, 1959, it was the final state to be added.

172 years after Delaware became the first state, Hawaii became a state.

Why did early humans eventually form hunter gatherer societies

Inessa05 [86]

Early humans eventually formed hunter-gatherer societies so catching food and cooking it could be split evenly between the people, and so everyone could get food properly, all the while sharing with eachother and looking out for eachother. Being in groups made it easier to catch more food, because they could take out more than they could together than with only one person. Forming these societies made things much more easy and efficient for them.
