ALASKA was a Russian colony from 1744 until the USA bought it in 1867 for $7,200,000. It was made a state in 1959. ALASKA was also a "territory" until May 1959. Statehood requires a minimum population.

Hawaii was a kingdom until 1893 and became a republic in 1894. It then ceded itself to the USA in 1898 and became a state in 1959. IMMEDIATELY before Hawaii achieved statehood in 1959, it was a Territory of the US. However, it had been a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines.

The transfer of the Paleolithic to the Neolithic occurs when human history appeared and generalized agriculture and livestock grazing (cattle), giving rise to agrarian societies. Normally, but not necessarily, it is accompanied by pottery work. In the Neolithic appear the first settlements and sedentary human settlements. The Neolithic period was followed, according to the regions, by the Age of Metals or directly by the Ancient Age, in which arose the writing and civilizations.
