Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent archaeological evidence has suggested that some prehistoric human migrants from Asia to the Americas might have used boats to cross the ocean rather than relying solely on the Bering land bridge. This evidence includes the discovery of stone tools and other artifacts in coastal areas of North and South America that date back to before the last Ice Age, when the land bridge was still accessible. These findings suggest that some groups may have traveled along the Pacific coast, possibly using boats to navigate around coastal obstacles.
