Contact between Europeans and Native Americans led to a demographic disaster of unprecedented proportions. Many of the epidemic diseases that were well established in the Old World were absent from the Americas before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. The catastrophic epidemics that accompanied the European conquest of the New World decimated the indigenous population of the Americas. Influenza, smallpox, measles, and typhus fever were among the first European diseases imported to the Americas. During the first hundred years of contact with Europeans, Native Americans were trapped in a virtual web of new diseases. European diseases, seeds, weeds, and animals irreversibly transformed the original biological and social landscape of the Americas. By 1518, the Native American demographic catastrophe and the demands of Spanish settlers for labor led to the importation of slaves from Africa. Thus, the Americas quickly became the site of the mixing of the peoples and infectious agents of previously separate continents

describe the change experience from the paleolithic era to the neolithic era. discuss how this change influenced the development
N76 [4]

The change that drove the transition from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic era, was the emergence of farming activities, both agriculture and animal husbandry. Previously, people only ate what they could hunt, fish or collect in the nature but, at this point in history, they learnt how to grow their own food, and hence, stopped being nomads and started to create settlements and villages for permanent stays.

More complex societies arose, where people acquired different roles. This was also the origin of the specialization and the division of labor. Specialists were able to develope tools which, in turn, enhanced the productivity of the agricultural activities and ended up giving rise to production surpluses (more food than the amount necessary for subsistence) and to trade activities.

The Neolithic starts 15,000 years ago and last until the Chalcolithic period which took place about 6,500 years ago.

Which answer best describes why factory owners often hired women and children in the 1800s? (5 points) a They wanted to prevent
son4ous [18]

Answer:

C. They wanted to hire people who work for the lowest wages to increase profits.

Explanation:

In the 1800s, women did not have many opportunities to work outside the home, most careers were male dominated, while women raised children at home. Children had even fewer working opportunities. The factory owners took advantage of these facts. They often paid women and children low wages because they wouldn't get more money anywhere else, and extreme poverty forced them into the workforce.
