Pros and cons of the two theories represented in the activity regarding the peopling of the Americas:
- The pros of theories of peopling of Americas are that these theories are continually evolving.
- These theories state that the oldest human settlement in Americas was in South Carolina almost 15000 years back giving a reason to celebrate and protect the distant past.
- The cons of the theories of peopling of Americas is that these theories are speculative and are not supported by enough evidence.
- The dating methods used in the theories are weak. There are also discrepancies in artifacts and genetics and the theories speculate themselves time and again.
The pros of the theory of the peopling of the Americas is that this theory explains the populations present in America, before colonization. However, the cons of this theory is that it is not based on proven facts.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The theory of the peopling of the Americas is built upon speculation.
- These speculations lack concrete and proven data, which leaves the theory weak and unstable.
- That's because it can change at any time and doesn't provide reliable information.
- However, the study of this theory manages to show us a version of the American continent that we do not know and this can stimulate research and studies about the people who were in this continent before colonization.
This theory speculates that South Carolina was a region that housed a large number of natives, being one of the first regions to house residents on the continent.
