First settlers of America
Most of paleontologists agree that the only route was the current Bering Strait,
but there are some few scientists, such as Donald Lathrap, who argues that
there was some migration of humans from Africa, who would have sailed
around 10,000 years ago through the Atlantic towards America South,
specifically towards the coastal region of the Amazon Jungle.
A Bering Strait crossing is a bridge between
the Chukotka Peninsula in Russia and
the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state
of Alaska. The bridge or tunnel would provide
a connection linking North America and
South America and Asia.
The discovery of the Clovis culture in
New Mexico pushed the settlement of
North America back to what
archeologists believed were the first
people to cross a land bridge between
Siberia and Alaska at the end of the
last Ice Age. The culture is named for
artifacts found near Clovis, New
Mexico.
