During the second millennium BC, the Phoenicians became seafaring merchants...
Explanation:
Phoenicians were, back in the day, quite famous sailors, traveling even beyond the Mediterranean and into the Atlantic.

Answer:
The revenue should not be recognized because of the unusual and subjective terms under which the buyer has the right to return the product.
Explanation:
If a buyer of goods has the right to return a product, the transaction is considered a sale with a right of return. When regular sales are made under these terms and there is a reasonable basis for estimating returns, revenue from the sale ought to be recognized and an allowance for returnsshould be established.
However, when the rate of returns cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue is not recognized until the right of return expires. Even though the goods were shipped in 2015, until the buyer accepts the goods or the right to return them expires, revenue would not be recognized.
The Hamburg Massacre (or Red Shirt Massacre or Hamburg riot) was a key event in the African American town of Hamburg, South Carolina in July 1876, leading up to the last election season of the Reconstruction Era. It was the first of a series of civil disturbances planned and carried out by white Democrats in the majority-black Republican Edgefield District, with the goal of suppressing black voting, disrupting Republican meetings, and suppressing black Americans civil rights, through actual and threatened violence.[1]
Beginning with a dispute over free passage on a public road, the massacre was rooted in racial hatred and political motives. A court hearing attracted armed white "rifle clubs," colloquially called the "Red Shirts". Desiring to regain control of state governments and eradicate the civil rights of black Americans, over 100 white men attacked about 30 black servicemen of the National Guard at the armory, killing two as they tried to leave that night. Later that night, the Red Shirts tortured and murdered four of the militia while holding them as prisoners, and wounded several others. In total, the events in Hamburg resulted in the death of one white man and six black men with several more blacks being wounded. Although 94 white men were indicted for murder by a coroner's jury, none were prosecuted.
The events were a catalyst in the overarching violence in the volatile 1876 election campaign. There were other episodes of violence in the months before the election, including an estimated 100 blacks killed during several days in Ellenton, South Carolina, also in Aiken County. The Southern Democrats succeeded in "redeeming" the state government and electing Wade Hampton III as governor. During the remainder of the century, they passed laws to establish single-party white rule, impose legal segregation and "Jim Crow," and disenfranchise blacks with a new state constitution adopted in 1895. This exclusion of blacks from the political system was effectively maintained into the late 1960s.
Answer:
natural selection operates primarily on characteristics that are tied to reproductive fitness.
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this is due to the fact that natural selection operates primarily on characteristics that are tied to reproductive fitness. In other words natural selection keeps those traits that allow the species to live long enough in order to reproduce but does not weed out many harmful conditions and non-adaptive characteristics if the species reaches reproductive age.
