find out about ancient and pre-contact Americans; better to abbreviate and oversimplify this history than to ignore it. II. The First Americans A. African and Asian Origins 1. Pangaea and Continental Drift—Before human evolution‚ continents of North and South America were detached from the common landmass of Pangaea. About 240 million years ago‚ continental drift pushed the landmass apart‚ allowing oceans to surround land much like our current geography. 2. Homo Sapiens—Modern humans‚ Homo sapiens

Tyrannosaurus rex means "tyrant lizard king" .It is also called T.Rex abbreviation. The first T. rex was first found by Barnum Brown in 1902. The first T. rex was found in Hell Creek‚ Montana‚ USA‚ North America. Tyrannosaurus rex was a meat-eater about 40 feet (12.4 m) long‚ about 15-20 feet (4.6-6 m) tall‚ and about 5-7 tons in weight. T. rex probably had about 200 bones‚ roughly the same as us (no one knows exactly how many it had‚ since no complete T. Rex Skeletons have been found). About a

What fossils tell us This chapter looks at fossils and their formation. Fossils are traces of ancient plants or animals preserved in rocks. The number of fossils and their placement in rocks is called the fossil record. The study of fossils is called palaeontology. Because fossils are buried in rock‚ most of the time they are found only when the rock is dug up‚ worn out or cut away. Fossils may include parts of animals‚ their footprints‚ eggs or nests. Plants and their spores‚ or seeds‚ also make

The continents during that time were all conjoined together as a supercontinent‚ known as Pangaea. As another million years went on‚ the continents split apart forming what it looks like currently on a world
