Detailed explanation-1: -Drought, flood, and temperature changes could certainly push people to move on. Climate change also affects the food supply, and anthropologists have assumed that people came to the Americas because they were following food on the hoof.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is from discoveries like these that archaeologists reconstruct the prehistory of North America’s Indians. They have found that the earliest New World pioneers hunted large mammals–bison, caribou, oxen, and mammoths–with stone tipped spears and spear and dart throwers, known as atlatls.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the 1970s, college students in archaeology such as myself learned that the first human beings to arrive in North America had come over a land bridge from Asia and Siberia approximately 13, 000 to 13, 500 years ago. These people, the first North Americans, were known collectively as Clovis people.
Detailed explanation-4: -Climate Change Some of the biggest human migrations coincided with major changes in climate, according to a new analysis. Researchers say early humans set out in search of climates where more food was available. And some populations stayed put in certain locations because barriers like glaciers blocked their progress.
