The Dawes Act ''encourage assimilation of native Americans into the mainstream of American culture''


The act was authorized in 1887 by the President and was amended 1891, 1898 and 1906.

This was in response to the 'Indian Problem' and was eventually responsible for encroaching on Indian lands and the deaths of many people.


The whole idea of the act was to break up Indian tribes and open the land for white settlers.

To this day, it is considered one of the most controversial acts in United States history.

The finches on the Galápagos Islands more closely resemble the finches on the nearby continent of South America than the finches
4vir4ik [10]
I believe the reason for this would be geographical evolution. Different ecosystems cause the finches to evolve differently over time. Also, since the finches on the Galápagos Islands are closer to the one in South America, it is likely that finches from there (South America) could have moved to the islands, contributing to the evolutionary process.

What do archaeologists identify as one possible reason for the decline of the Indus civilization
Verdich [7]

Some scholars and archaeologists consider a theory related to a sequence of natural and socio-economic factors which determined the decline of the Indus cities.  

They believe that in the Indus Valley region occurred numerous tectonic disturbances which caused earthquakes and changed courses of rivers or dried them up.

These events might have caused a great flood by separating food producing areas from urban centers.
