Answer:

Humans acquired these skills thanks to their increased cognitive abilities.

Explanation:

Evolution provided humans (Homo Sapiens), and other hominids like the Neanderthals and the Homo Erectus, with larger brains, in exchange for weaker bodies. This gave hominids a physical disadvantage, but also a massive cognitive advantage.

With time, hominids acquired the necessary skills to learn how to use fire and fabricate stone tools, making survival more likely because now these species could hunt, gather, and cook more easily.

Homo Sapiens, the only extant hominid species, went through a cognitive revolution around 10,000 to 70,000 years ago, in which social cooperation and language was developed even more. Homo Sapiens drove other hominids to exctintion, and began to occupy all the continents. By 12,000 BCE, the southern tip of South America had been settled.

DOUBLE POINTS! ASAP!What is the Missouri plan, and how does it affect the Governors power? In your own own words please, giving

Illusion [34]

Answer:

If you mean the Missouri Compromise...it means that there'll be an invisible 36'30 degree parallel line that'll divide the South territory of the U.S. (South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Kentuck, etc.) and the North territories of the US (New England, Ohio, Pennsylvannia, etc). The purpose of that divison is to decided witch state will have slave and which will have no slave. Any states that comes into the US below the 36'30 parallel line will become a slave state, and those above the line will be a free state. This will maintain the balance in the government between southern and northern represenatives. It also gave more power to the federal goverment as they can decided wheter or not to let a state join in as slave or free. Instead of having the states choose. Hope that helps:)
