Many of the simplest forms of transportation are powered by people!&nbsp; Over the years, people have come up with many ingenious ways to improve upon human-powered transportation.&nbsp; These include things as complex as bicycles and as simple as snowshoes, which make walking through deep snow much easier.&nbsp; Speaking of snow, the forms of transportation cultures use are dependent on where they live, just like with houses! Cultures in places with a lot of snow would quickly find out that sleds make moving things and people much easier.&nbsp; People in areas with lots of lakes and rivers, or ones that are close to the ocean, would rely pretty heavily on boats.&nbsp; Cultures in drier areas might focus more on animals that could carry them, or on carts and wagons.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-id-16648_d8806e-f5

look very different in different places with different resources and waterways.&nbsp; Maine Native Americans used birchbark canoes while Arctic Native Americans made kayaks out of animal bone and hide and Mesoamericans build theirs from bundles of reeds!&nbsp; Pacific island peoples often added an outrigger to their canoes to provide stability navigating ocean waves.&nbsp; They both needed water transportation, but the resources available to them meant that they went about it in very different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transportation is so interesting to anthropologists because of the huge amount of variation found around the world.&nbsp; All of this variation stems from the same basic problem: how do we move people and things from place to place.&nbsp; Seeing how different cultures solve the same problem in such a variety of ways helps us understand how humans are similar and how we are different.&nbsp; The differences stem in part from the specific environment to be traversed, the materials at hand, and the scale and frequency of what needs to be moved.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-16648_103063-d2
