Bering Land Bridge

 

A big question Historians always ask is how did humans get to America?  Historians know human life began in East Africa with Lucy.  From her bones Historians know she was 4 feet tall, covered in hair, had two children, and more!  It always amazes me what bones can tell us.  So if Human Life began in East Africa - how did they get to the Americas?

Pangia - the idea the countries were together.  Was an idea of how people got to America first.  But now Historians believe the land bridge was more plausible.

East Africa - where Life began!

She is the oldest known human, but that can change tomorrow based on the bones we find.

3 C's of the 1950s

 

When you think about the 1950s - Numerous would think of the image above!  I always think of wholesome families like the first sitcoms, Leave it to Beaver, or the Dick Van Dyke Show.  But the 1950s from a Historical Point of View is so much more!

It is called the 3 C's.  Communism, Cold War, and Civil Rights.  You also include the words Containment and Conformity.  So many C's!  The 1950s were a tumultuous  time for America.  The need to conform was strong!

A great example of conformity was military housing - Levittowns!

America's top priority was to contain communism domestically and abroad.  To root out Communism numerous debates emerged!  On person emerged who went on a witch hunt to find communist in America!  He put America under a spell.  Edward R. Murrow woke up America when he went after McCarthy.  George Clooney made a movie about this called Good Night and Good Luck.  I hope you can see how terrorized America was.
