Paleo-Indians, who are considered to be some of the first inhabitants of the Americas, lived across a wide range of regions throughout North and South America. Their presence has been traced from as far north as Alaska down to the southern tips of South America. They primarily occupied areas characterized by diverse environments, including plains, forests, and coastal regions.
In North America, notable Paleo-Indian sites include locations such as the Clovis culture sites in New Mexico and the Folsom sites in Colorado. These groups were mobile hunter-gatherers, relying on large game animals like mammoths and mastodons, as well as smaller mammals, fish, and plant resources available in their respective regions.
Overall, the Paleo-Indians were not limited to one specific region but adapted to a variety of environments across the continent as they migrated and settled.
