Correct answer: C. Allowing slavery's spread to areas that had been free for more than 30 years.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery. In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred. The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed. Kansas and Nebraska ended up as free states, but the Kansas-Nebraska Act had allowed the possibility that slavery could become slave states.

Answer:

d. is the result of genetic drift

Explanation:

The Homo floresiensis is a small hominid species that lived on the island of Flores, Indonesia. It has been debated a lot about Homo floresiensis, is it Homo sapiens that shrunk in size because of the conditions, or is it a separate hominid species. The general consensus nowadays is that Homo floresiensis is a separate species of hominid, and this has been based on anatomical and genetic analyses. This species of hominid is very interesting as it only grew to a height of 1.1 meters, was sing tools, but it also lived for some time along side the Homo sapiens, meaning that our species had encountered these small hominids.
