Hello everyone, do to new archeological discoveries over the last 6 years the date for the first migration and the method used have changed. Most people associate the first migration into the Americas with the groups that crossed the Bering Strait land bridge approximately 10 to 13 thousand years ago.
However, based upon archaeological discoveries over the last 10 years the date of the first migration has been pushed back to approximately 30 to 35 thousand years ago. In addition this migration occurred before the Bering Strait land bridge and the Northwest passage was free of glaciers. The people who were part of this migration entered the Americas from Eurasia using boats.
But one question remains, did these early migrations fail or succeed long enough to contribute traits and DNA to the later Native American populations that would populate both North and South America.[img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]
I would enjoy a discussion on this subject, so please jump in with both feet.
