First settlers of America
THE ROUTE THAT FOLLOWED THE FIRST SETTLERS
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
THE SETTLEMENT OF AMERICA
It might be surprising that
these hunters and collectors,
who had Clovis type tools,
could reach Patagonia -
located at 13,000 km south of
the US-Mexico border USA
and Canada- in less than 100
years.
CLOVIS TECHNOLOGY
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
