The First Americans Didn't Arrive by the Bering Land Bridge, Study Says

Everyone knows the first Americans came over on the Mayflower.

[Stingray51]

People spread throughout the Paciifc islands without benefit of a land bridge. Given how small those islands are, it makes sense that some (or most) of this migration would have missed the islands and ended up on the west coast of the American continents.

“Fossilized feces”

When I cast my eyes on those words the first thing
that came into my mind was ‘Harry Reid’.

It’s also possible the “first Americans” were from Europe and not Asia...”Scientific evidence suggests...”

Beat me to it! Good call!

Oh, I see that you are just another Alaskan trying
to shirk responsibility for providing a conduit for
illegal immigrants for all of these thousands of
years.

[Leep]

I thought they drove there?

Evolution says everyone came from African monkeys.

Creation says everyone came from God, who gave each of us a soul.

I’m going with the God explanation.

[Does so]

I see what you did there...

Not when fossil evidence says people where in North America 2500 years BEFORE the passage opened.

[Ellendra]

when the first plants and animals showed up in the region. Meanwhile, archaeologists have ample evidence that people were living in the Americas long before then.

People were here before plants or animals?

[Jan_Sobieski]

Very good! My thoughts exactly!

You don't need a land bridge to cross the Bering Strait. During the Soviet years, the Russians would house a detail on their side of the Strait to keep Russian Inuits (Eskimos) from crossing the ice to visit family members in Alaska, and keep Alaskan Inuits from visiting. My understanding that the current Russian government has renewed the practice.

So, for however many millennia you didn't have Soviets or the current regime, you only needed to wait for winter to cross.

Of course, that bit of knowledge would play hob with many tenured professor-ships, published papers, books, and lecture-circuit presentations as well as scholarly lectures, would it?

No one has absolutely any proof of how the Americas were first settled. It’s all pure speculation.
