Answer:

The contribution is codex or codices in plural. These were folding books that served to record stories or history. They are similar to papyrus since they are both sheets and were used to record things in them. The folding books were a product of skilled scribes that were working under the patronage of gods. There are only 3 Maya codices left today because the Roman Catholic church destroyed most of them during an inquisition after they heard that the Maya were still worshiping idols.

What is the author implying when they write Alcatraz Island is more suitable for an Indian Reservation, as determined by the whi

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The author means that Alcatraz Island does not have the minimum resources for the native population to live to the full, which will force the natives to submit to white citizens and be exploited as the white man deems necessary.

Explanation:

The standards of the white man reaffirmed his own supremacy over other races, in addition to establishing that these other races should submit to the will of the white man and be exploited so that whites can achieve their goals. For this reason, the author of the text to which the question is referring states that "Alcatraz Island is more suitable for an indigenous reserve," because that island does not have the minimum resources for the indigenous population to be able to live with the basics of comfort. For this reason, to survive, the indigenous population would be forced to submit to the wishes of the white man.

There are a lot of created theories in which biologists engaged themselves to explain such phenomenon that occurred thousands of years ago, and experts say such study is hard to replicate, the start of prokaryote cells. Prokaryotes were said to be the first organisms that existed and were able to exhibit photosynthesis that produced oxygen that spread across the atmosphere. Hence, consider the Theory of Spontaneous formation of organic molecules which suggests that the early earth had less to none oxygen. Thus, the atmosphere was abundant with the gases, CO2 and N2 with some other small amounts of H2, H2S, and CO. Hence, in Stanley Miller’s experiment when electrical sparks or “lightning” came in contact with these gases, the newly formed mixtures of CH4, NH3, and H2 were catalyzed. With these newly formed gases in interaction with H2O came the first synthesized some amino acids that compromised the earliest organic molecules which evolved to macromolecules, to be organelles of a cell. Which in the latter macromolecules are in today, maybe have been before the early nucleic acids (able to replicate) or proteins of these early cells.</span><span> </span>
