Which theory do most scientists believe about the first inhabitants of North America?

1 answer

Most scientists believe that the first inhabitants of North America arrived via a land bridge known as Beringia, which connected Siberia to Alaska during the last Ice Age. This theory suggests that these early peoples migrated from Asia to North America around 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, following large game animals for hunting. This theory is supported by archaeological evidence and genetic studies.
