Document Summary
Hypotheses for route of migration to the new world (continued: bering land bridge hypothesis world"s climate started warm and the sea levels rised up, ice free corridor and allowed for people to move across the continent. Humans were also living in the south of america suggesting that they arrived by boat in the south. The bering land bridge was available 35,000-11,000 years ago: pacific coastal route very likely, marine adapted populations using boats and making use of fish, sea weed etc. no evidence of water craft. Although no other way of getting to that destinations without water craft. 15,000 years ago: foot prints in bc near the coast that supports the idea of coastal, both pacific coast and bering bridge were used. Aptn video migration of the americas: people who resided in monte verde suggested that they depended on sea food. Confirmed pre-clovis: north atlantic ice edge (solutrean) - there is no evidence to support this route.
