We have always believed that first people that came to the Americas came acrossed the land bridge. It has now been proven that people may have come across the land bridge, but other people were already in America when this happened. In 2008, Eva de Naharon was the oldest skeleton that researchers had ever found. Her body was found in an underwater cave in the Yucatan peninsula. At the time of Eva’s death she was buried in a cave that was dry back then, but now it is completely underwater. One of the researchers, Gonzales, also described that they found 8 other skeletons buried in the same area as Eva. Eva’s bones have been dated as being 13.5 thousand years old.

They are guessing that they followed the coast of land and the kelp highway. This highway of kelp would insure that the people would have plenty of food along their journey. It would make sense to take a boat because it is quicker and easier than walking by foot. We are uncertain about this though because all evidence has been washed away by the rising seas. Thanks to this new technology scientists have also been able to prove ancestry of the Kennewick man. The bones of the Kennewick man dates back to 18 thousand years old. This man’s skeleton is the most complete skeleton researchers have found in North America. Scientist think that this skeleton is too important and should not be given back to the Native American tribe. Scientist’s have taken so much data about his skeleton that it took 9 years to publish it all.
A Native American tribe has thought that he is the oldest ancestor of their tribe. It is a very important thing in their culture to bury someone in a ceremony to leave their body their till the end of time. Researchers believe that this man is not Native American because of different features they noticed in the skull. They ran DNA testing on part of the bone of the Kennewick man to clear the confusion up. When the results came back they found that the Kennewick man is closer related to Native Americans than any other group in the

When I picked this person I asked myself two essential questions, Who is this person and why is she important to history ? I believe Hermine Santrouschitz aka Miep Gies is important to history because she helped hide the Franks and other families . I mean if you think about it without her we wouldn’t have read about “The Diary of Anne Frank” because it wouldn’t have existed . Meaning if she wouldn’t have hid the Franks Anne and her family would have just been sent straight to a concentration camp right away and they all would have probably died right when they got there .

Columbus takes a glorious position in America history; we’ve named places after him, made countless movies and books of him, and even have statues of him.

The first chapter of both A​People’s History of the United States (​Zinn, 1980) and​A Patriot’s History of the United States​(Schweikart and Allen, 2004) tells the story of the discovery of the New World. Beginning with the landing of Columbus in the Bahamas, these accounts are told from two separate perspectives. Zinn often refers to the telling of history as a tale between victims and executioners, saying that in the “inevitable taking of sides which comes from selection and emphasis in History” he prefers to stand on the side of the victim, whereas Schweikart and Allen tend to stand behind the executioner. Much of A​Patriot’s History​is spent arguing the accuracy of the number of natives murdered by invading European entities, attempting to minimize the blame reflected on these executioners.

The most compelling theory is that Ötzi was assassinated for his high position of power with in his clan. After thorough investigation of the site where Ötzi was discovered (Ötztal Alps) and analysis of the corps historians can infer that the most compelling theory for the death of the iceman is that he was assassinated as part of a power play with in his own clan. This theory is supported by many pieces of evidence. One of these is, the finding of a copper axe near the iceman’s death site and suggesting that the iceman was quite powerful with in his clan. Another supporting piece of evidence is the fact that the arrow was taken out of the iceman’s back, this supports the theory that his attacker did not want to be identified and the fact that
