Consider these three time periods:

The period of Paleolithic North Americans
The period of the first two major North American civilizations
The period just prior to Europeans arriving in North America

Select one of these periods and write a short paragraph explaining how North Americans were affected by their environment at that time.

Paleoindian Period 12,000-10,000 BC. The Paleoindian Period refers to a time approximately 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age when humans first appeared in the archeological record in North America. One of the original groups to enter what is now Canada and the United States was the Clovis culture. They encountered and hunted many species of large, now extinct mammals. They felled these "megafauna" (named such due to the large size compared to modern beasts) with spears tipped with stone points. These animals included the mastodon, mammoth, horse, tapir, ground sloth, great bison, giant beaver, giant tortoise, American lion, short-faced bear, and saber-toothed tiger. In summary, the Paleoindian Period was a crucial time in history
