Detailed explanation-1: -Scientists one theorized that the ancestors of today’s Native Americans reached North America by walking across this land bridge and made their way southward by following passages in the ice as they searched for food. New evidence shows that some may have arrived by boat, following ancient coastlines.
Detailed explanation-2: -The traditional story of human migration in the Americas goes like this: A group of stone-age people moved from the area of modern-day Siberia to Alaska when receding ocean waters created a land bridge between the two continents across the Bering Strait.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the second half of the 20th Century, a consensus emerged among North American archaeologists that the Clovis people had been the first to reach the Americas, about 11, 500 years ago.
