By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

According to the map, which statements are true about early human migration? Choose three answers. Humans first lived in East Af
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A. Humans first lived in East Africa.

B. Migration occurred by land and sea

D. Humans crossed a land bridge to North America.

Explanation:

Human migration is defined as the movement of humans from one place to another.

The earliest humans lived in East Africa about 3 million years ago and the earliest humans are known as Homo habilis. Richard Leakey found the first human species in the 1960s at Omo Kibish in south-western Ethiopia.

Migration occurred by land and sea in the earlier time. Humans used land bridges to move from one place to another and whenever sea level goes down they migrate through sea or water sources as well.

During the last ice age, humans crossed a land bridge to North America from Asia about 20,000 years ago. The land bridge is submerged underwater due to rise in sea levels.

Hence, the correct answers are "A, B, and D"
