Quiz for "Peopling
of the Americas": Now
that you've seen the Scientific Frontiers program, "Coming Into America," you need to read some more. There are three major models we'll look at. The BBC's summary of their program "Stone Age Columbus" explains more on the
Salutrean model as seen in the film in class. Now,
you need to think about the other two. The genetics model is explained in the article, "Mitochondrial DNA and the Peopling of the NewWorld" by Theodore G. Schurr. There are also a number of excellent maps and genetic charts to
help you understand the language. For
your assignment, briefly discuss each model so I can see you understand. Then, tell me your hypothesis. Be sure
to back up your thinking with the evidence from the articles, your textbook and the film, "Coming Into America." |
