I learned in school that the people who crossed the Bering Strait did so because they were following the Mammoth.
However, since people do not EAT elephants, I assume they are not delicious.
With so many other animals around, wouldn't it be more feasible that they had some other reason for wanting to cross the Bering Strait?
Is there anything else that they could have been following?
Also, why did they ALL cross over?
I mean, Asians are similar to Native Americans, but they are not the same.
Didn't anyone disagree with the "little scheme of marching up and down..." and just stay behind. Did they have such a regimented society that everyone just followed the "leader"?
I BELIEVE that people crossed over--I am not saying that they came from space, or anything like that.
My question is more about being more creative with the COMPELLING REASON and the nature of the relationships in the group(s) that migrated in that direction.

Would the genetic offspring be viable for any of the pairs to leave the ark after the flood? The question boils down to: “Is it possible for 2 of any species to produce a whole race of genetically viable progeny?”

I dismished a work tool in purpose cause I got upset and someone told on me, the marks showed my anger and they were pretty threatening too. Now I just keep getting deeper in the mud and need to stop it before it goes any further. I learned my lesson but, how to make them belive me?

My hubby & I found out that my daughter is not his (she was born before we were married) and now we are getting a divorce. Can we file as if we had no children since she is not his biological child but carries his name? We are in Oklahoma.
Thanks

I feed the squirrels in my area walnuts and various other nuts and they act ok but when I give them hazelnuts they go crazy and get very agressive towards each other and even agressive towards me if I don't keep giving them the hazelnuts. What is going on? Is there something in the nuts that cause this change of behavior?

My son is 17 months old, and only says mamma, nanna, dadda, and that. I'm worried about autism. He makes good eye contact, and he understands what I'm saying. I know this because he follows simple instructions. He is very social and loves people. Neither my hubby or I have autism in our families, but I am still worried. How much should he be saying, and when should I get really concerned?

That people in the future will look at us the way we look at the stone age. The current religions will look as foolish, as worshiping a rock looks to us.

I think it is a "U" above the unstressed syllables and a "/" above stressed ones, but I'm not sure. Any help would be wonderful, and as soon as possible as my paper is due tomorrow with the proper notation on it.

He was president for eight years and during his presidency there was peace and prosperity. However, his vice president was defeated in a disputed election and felt that he was robbed. He was charistmatic and well liked and most likely would have won a third term, unlike his vice president, who made many mistakes in the campaign. You could go on and on and nobody could figure out, whether you were talking about Ike or Bill.

The idea of natural selection is that animals want to pass on their genes. Animals who survive are able to reproduce their characteristics, and because they survive those characteristics are adaptive. Right?

I feel that my personal experience is inconstant with the evolutionary forces that are said to drive nature.

I have no desire to reproduce. In fact, I would hate to pass on my genes simply because I don’t want kids.
My mate selection has nothing to do with reproduction. I like who my wife is, and the fun that I have with her. (I think my wife is hot, but the concept of beauty is shaped more by one’s culture than one’s biological disposition).

I think that many people feel the same way about this area of their life.

If evolutionary principles govern life on this plant, and I am subject to them, why are my desires contrary to them? How can that be explain from a evolutionary theoretical model?

The Ark that Noah supposedly built held 2 of every animal. Since each animal has a logical predator, there would be a need to have “feeder animals” kept isolated in certain chambers. Thus increasing the number of animals on the ark. So my question is, is a wooden boat, say the size of Manhattan Island structurally viable in a sea that has no land to tame its waves?
