Both in what is now the eastern and the southwestern United States, the peoples of the Archaic era (8,000-1,000 B.C) were,
in a way, already adapted to beginnings of cultivation through their intensive gathering and processing of wild plant foods.
In both areas, there was a well-established ground stone tool technology, a method of pounding and grinding nuts and other
plant foods, that could be adapted to newly cultivated foods. By the end of the Archaic era, people in eastern North America
haddomesticated certain native plants, including sunflowers; weeds called goosefoot, sumpweed, or marsh elder; and squash
or gourds of some kind. These provided seeds that were important sources of carbohydrates and fat in the diet

Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter's four largest moons and the second moon out from Jupiter. Until 1979, it wasust
another astronomy textbook statistic. Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and
within days, Europa was transformed-in our perception, at least-into one of the solar system's most intriguing worlds. The
biggest initial surprise was the almost totallack of detail, especially from far away. Even at close range, the only visible
features are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell. And this analogy is not far offthe mark.

One area of paleoanthropological study involves the eating and dietary habits of hominids,erect bipedal primates —
including early humans. It is clear that at some stage of history, humans began to carry their food to central places, called
home bases, where it was shared and consumed with the young and other adults. The use of home bases is a fundamental
component of human social behavior; the common meal served at a common hearth is a powerful symbol, a mark of social
unity. Home base behavior does not occur among nonhuman primates and is rare among mammals. It is unclear when humans
began to use home bases, what kind of communications andsocial relations were involved, and what the ecological and food-
choice contexts of the shift were.
