The Embargo Act of 1807 was a direct result of the impressment of American ships, goods and men by the British during a time of conflict throughout the United States, Britain and France. While the U.S. was not technically involved in the conflict, they were affected because the British began to seize their ships that were taking goods to France.

Discuss how the transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic cultures was a major turning point in human history.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic is one of the most important moments in human history. During the Paleolithic, which comprises about 99% of human history, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, and lived a nomadic lifestyle.

The Neolithic started around 12,000 in the near east, more specifically in the Levant and Mesopotamia, and was marked by the adoption of agriculture, and the change from a nomadic lifestyle to a sedentary lifestyle.

During the Neolithic, agriculture allowed the production of surplus food that allowed the divison of labor and the founding of the first cities such as Jericho and Damascus.

Who were the early inhabitants of Australia?

Murrr4er [49]

As part of the "Great Coastal Migration," the progenitors of the first Australians were among the first modern people to depart from Africa. Debatable, but generally speaking, the Great Coastal Migration left between 50 and 60,000 years ago. As the name suggests, this migration made its way from Africa via Arabia to India and Southeast Asia along the shore of the Indian Ocean. Sea levels were substantially lower back then. The huge islands off the coast of western Indonesia were really a massive peninsula known as Sunda. Australia, Tasmania, and Papua were all part of a one continuous landmass known as Sahul (in both cases "Sunda" and "Sahul" are modern names for these ancient landmasses, rather than ancient names that have lingered). However, water levels never decreased to the point that they could immediately connect the smaller Indonesian islands of Sunda and Sahul. (Check attachment for a map - for reference).

The Great Coastal Migration had to island hop their way through these little islands to reach Australia when they reached the eastern tip of Sunda. For this portion of the migration, boats or rafts were required, and they could have been required sooner if the Great Coast Migrants had departed Africa by the Horn rather than the Suez. However, we haven't yet discovered concrete proof of the type of watercraft that may have been created at the period. The oldest trustworthy indication of the existence of humans is found between 45 and 50,000 years ago in both Papua and mainland Australia. Historically speaking there's a wide diversity of small watercraft used by indigenous Australians (Check out the second attachment for another map reference); but 45-50,000 years ago is far to remote a time for this historical data to really be useful in telling us what sort of boats or rafts the first Australians used to make the final leg of their journey into Australia.
