Examples of Clovis and other Paleoindian point forms, markers of archaeological cultures in North America. The Solutrean hypothesis on the peopling of the Americas is the claim that the earliest human migration to the Americas began from Europe during the Solutrean Period, with Europeans traveling along pack ice in the Atlantic Ocean.
This hypothesis contrasts with the mainstream archaeological consensus that the North American continent was first populated by people from Asia, either by the Bering land bridge (i.e. Beringia) at least 13,500 years ago, [6] or by maritime travel along the Pacific coast, or by both. The idea of a Clovis-Solutrean link remains controversial and ...
The Bering Strait has been the subject of the scientific theory that humans migrated from Asia to North America across a land bridge known as Beringia when lower ocean levels – a result of glaciers locking up vast amounts of water – exposed a wide stretch of the sea floor, [1] both at the present strait and in the shallow sea north and ...
The Thule Land Bridge, a now-vanished land bridge between the British Isles and Greenland; Torres Strait land bridge, Sahul, between modern-day West Papua and Cape York; Sundaland, a 1,800,000 km 2 area which connected the islands of Southeast Asia at various points during the last 2.6 million years
Since an earlier presence of humans predates the last major Ice Age and the Bering Land Bridge, this suggests that migrants from Asia or elsewhere came to the Americas by sea, down the Atlantic or ...
Reenactment of a Viking landing in L'Anse aux Meadows. Pre-Columbian transoceanic contact theories are speculative theories which propose that visits to the Americas, interactions with the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, or both, were made by people from elsewhere prior to Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Caribbean in 1492.

The catastrophic collapse of a major bridge in Baltimore has drawn attention to the structural integrity of Bay Area bridges and the potential for a similar incident locally.
Map of early human migrations based on the Out of Africa theory; figures are in thousands of years ago (kya). [1]The peopling of the Americas began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers (Paleo-Indians) entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the ...
