The natives had introduced foods such as maize, potatoes, cocoa, peanuts, tomatoes, pineapples, and chili peppers. Christopher Columbus created the exchange of foods and such from the New World to the Old World. When Columbus discovered the New World, it started many things such as The Colombian Exchange. It also started bad things such as slavery, war, and destruction of Native Cultures. When the Columbus Exchange was created, Christopher Columbus tried to make the Native Americans slaves.

Tribal villagers used the shelter long before white settlers and gold miners settled in the Sierra foothills. The pictographs were centuries old. The pictographs depected animals, reptiles and man. All of the paintings were recognizable as creatures that would have inhabited the Sierras 500 to 1,000 years ago, when the pictographs are believed to have been created. Three of the animals, though, can only be described in today’s dictionary as an adult male, female and child Bigfoot.
History midterm paper In what ways did the American Exchange shape the modern world between 1500 and 1800? The voyages of historical European explorers in the early modern era between 1500 and 1800 resulted in short and long term consequences in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The diffusion of plants, food crops, human populations, disease pathogens, and animals changed the world’s biological fabrication for the first time since the continental drift. In 1492 Christopher Columbus stepped foot in the Americas with the desire to obtain basic resources, food, and land. The Europeans introduced the Americas to crops of wheat, barley, rice, and turnips, although these crops had little effect on the new world.
Implying that they were not intelligent enough to create their own history until the Spaniards came along. It is very important to put these false accusations to rest and rather enlighten our youth with the incredible stories of the paleo-Indians journeys into the Americas 20,000 or so years ago, to describe the immense populations, as well as their successfully created governments and astonishing achievements. As modern technology continues to advance, historians,
22 October 2013 Why Can’t People Feed Themselves? In the article by Frances Moore Lappé and Joseph Collins, both authors point to Colonialism as the main reason why people cannot feed themselves anymore. Prior to European intervention in third world agriculture, many of these countries thrived on their land, producing crops not for sale, but for consumption. They looked to diversify their crops and to introduce new crops of Asian or even American origin that could also be grown for consumption. However, many European countries viewed these lesser colonies as “primitive and backward.” Why can’t people feed themselves?
To better understand our history of evolution we will have to go back three point two million years ago where one of the first species of upright walking apes or hominids were discovered. Lucy, a female Australopithecus afarencis is well known for being part of the earliest species of hominids and was discovered containing forty-seven out of two hundred six bones in a full skeleton. During Lucy’s time the Earth’s plates were shifting causing the environment and climate to change. The rift valleys were forming and the rain forests were dying. In this new environment they found it more efficient to move about on two legs.
After visiting the site, Bingham came with three theories on the purposes of the ancient site. Bingham had stated in this finding that the site was a site that was a traditional birthplace of the Inca people. Due to the ratio of ten woman to one man found on the sites, it was stated that the site to have been a religious site where there were only virgin woman and we’re watched over by the head priests. The last theory that was stated was that the site was an ancient site for where the final battle took place between the Inca and the Spaniards. Project Statement: Although, Bingham re-discovered the ancient site, his work today is started to raise some questions among current archaeologist.
Finally, Native Americans did not have a lot of major diseases before Europeans arrived and did not develop the immunity to a lot of the diseases they had in Europe. After Europeans arrived, all of the things changed for the Native Americans. One good thing that came for them was they could trade for new or better goods. Europeans brought things that the Native Americans had never seen before like armor, horses, and foods and could now try and trade for this. Europeans however also brought advanced weapons like guns and they traded for a few but mostly the guns conquered the Native Americans.
All the cultures were technologically stuck in the Stone Age,and ,combined with their lack of immunity to European diseases meant that these civilizations were overrun and conquered by Europeans. Columbus proved to the Europeans that the world was likely round and not flat. He didn't really prove that it was round, but his voyages increased the perceived likelihood that it was, and inspired other explorers who really did demonstrate that you could head west and end up east. That increased global trade significantly. It also increased global awareness of the other cultures that share this planet.
