According to the article I've read in the website of Harvard Health Publishing (Harvard Medical School), the causes of overweight or obesity have been implicated by more than 400 different genes. Genes provide overweight in so many ways like metabolism, appetite, cravings, distribution of fats, and stress eating. Although it depends on one person to another person. Researchers have said that 25% of predisposition to be overweight is accounted to genes, while 70%-80% for genetic influences. These are just some of the reason how much of your weight depends on your genes:
-For much of your life, you have been overweight
-Overweight is seen on your parents or relatives, your likelihood to be developing obesity is as high as 80% if both of your parents are overweight

Tanya [424]
<span>The division of the fur trade was mostly the spark of the Pequot war. The Pequot war is a conflict between the Pequot tribe and the alliances that the European colonists have made in Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their native tribe alliance with the Mohegan tribes. <span>

<span>It was a dispute that the Pequots lost; where about an approximate of 700 of these tribesmen were either killed or sent to slavery. Access to the control of fur trade divided the two tribes when they both decided to realign with English trade sources. The Pequots made an alliance with the Dutch, while the Mohegan made an alliance with the English. </span></span></span>
