The most widely accepted theory is that people first arrived in North America by migrating over land from Asia via a land bridge known as Beringia, which once connected what is now Siberia in Russia to Alaska in the United States. This migration likely occurred during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were lower and the land bridge was exposed.
While some evidence suggests that coastal routes may have been used, the primary theory is based on the land migration model. Over time, these early inhabitants spread throughout North America, adapting to various environments as they moved southward.
