Document Summary
First nations elders believe to have originated in north america. Hominid bones, dating back up to 40 000 years, have been found everywhere but the americas. Evidence suggests they migrated from siberia to north america over a land bridge (beringia) that existed from 70 000 to 14 000 years ago. After crossing over, they continued travelling south all the way to the tip of south america and eventually even settled in the high arctic about 4000 years ago. Scientists disagree as to when the migration occurred and three differing hypotheses. Radical theorists believe humans entered the americas as early as. 100 000 years ago though no evidence exist. Liberal theorists place the migration at around 30 000 b. c. sites like. Monte verde, chile shows evidence of human habitation but no remains, or yukon"s bluefish caves show bone and stone artifacts dating back to 20 000 years ago.
