Answer: D. Pressure flaking

Explanation: Pressure flaking is the method of applying pressure by means of a pointed wood or bone near the edge of a flake or blade, to detach small flakes from both sides. This provides a greater means of controlling the direction and quantity of the applied force thereby facilitating the early production of sharper and finely detailed tools.

The archaeological discovery in 2010 in Blombos Cave, South Africa, places the use of pressure flaking by early humans to make stone tools back to 73,000 BCE, which is 55,000 years earlier than previously accepted. The previously accepted date of around 20,000 years ago was based upon the evidence previously available which was derived from findings of the Upper Paleolithic Solutrean culture in France and Spain.

What were the effects of sugar plantations on the peopling of America?
Naddik [55]

The most important effect of the sugar plantations on the people of America is that it helps them to build their own permanent settlement. The peopling of America settled down as sugar plantations became the more stable source of food for them. Moreover, the Surplus production also led people to focus on building societies.  

Sugar was the main cash crop produced on the land of Caribbean throughout 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The main source of labor for this was enslaved Africans. Although Colonists brought Sugar production in the United States but they could not grow it on their own because the land was new for them. Colonists including English, French, and Portuguese then forced the Americans to start the Sugar plantation, which caused Slavery in the Caribbean for Africans, and permanent settlements for Peopling of America.
