It was where he developed his theory. The Galapagos are considered the "Laboratory of Evolution." Evolution is easily observable here.
Scientists refer to Beringia as the "Ice Age Serengeti" because it served as a rich and diverse ecosystem during the last Ice Age, similar to the Serengeti in Africa today. This region, which includes parts of modern-day Alaska and Siberia, was home to various large mammals like mammoths and bison, providing a habitat that supported a wide range of species. Beringia acted as a land bridge and migration route for both animals and humans, facilitating the spread of life across continents. Its unique environment and biodiversity during that period make the comparison to the Serengeti particularly apt.
The land bridge connecting Asia and North America is called Beringia. It was located in the present-day Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska. This land bridge emerged during the last Ice Age when sea levels dropped, allowing early humans to migrate to North America.
The Theory of the 42s is a concept stemming from Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series where the number 42 is given as the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything." It humorously implies that the answer is not as important as understanding the question itself.
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Sexual selection. Just to name the two most important contributions of Charles Darwin.
The Beringia theory states that in the last ice age a lot of water was frozen and therefore absent in the Bering straight. Some early asian hunters crossed over from Siberia to what is now Alaska and spread and multiplied into the Native Indian tribes that were mainly wiped out in the colonization of the Americas.
· Settlers from Micronesia to Indonesia traveled along the islands and arrived in Mexico. These constituted the early native americans. The opposing and stronger theory is the Beringia theory, which you can read about on Wikipedia.
bear-in-gee-a Beringia ;)
Because they Glaciers have melted and made Beringia invisible.
Beringia was 18 miles long and 1000 miles wide.
The Beringia connected Siberia and North America
They crossed over the land bridge called Beringia
That would be the Bering land bridge. It was around 1000 miles wide (north to south) at it's widest. It connected present-day Alaska. and eastern Siberia.
The Pacific Ocean now exists where Beringia once was.
