PALEO PEOPLE IN THE NEW WORLD New evidence shows that Stone-Age Europeans were first
to set foot on North America. In evidence
is analysis of stone knife unearthed in the US and found to be made of made
of French flint.Theory was always that early migrants to North America moved
across the Beringia land bridge between eastern Siberia and present-day
Alaska around 40,000–16,500 years ago when sea levels were significantly
lower due to the Quaternary glaciation. People followed herds of now-extinct
Pleistocene megafauna along ice-free corridors that stretched between the
Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets.Other routes were either on foot or
using primitive boats. Recent DNA studies suggest additional migration from
Europe in the Soulerian era and later. |
