Detailed explanation-1: -’The people that travelled into these new lands must have come by boat, because the northern parts of North America were impenetrable and sealed off from eastern Eurasia by a massive ice sheet until 13, 000 years ago.
Detailed explanation-2: -The settlement of the Americas began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the Last Glacial Maximum (26, 000 to 19, 000 years ago).
Detailed explanation-3: -The ancestors of the American Indians were nomadic hunters of northeast Asia who migrated over the Bering Strait land bridge into North America probably during the last glacial period (11, 500–30, 000 years ago). By c. 10, 000 bc they had occupied much of North, Central, and South America.
