Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current theory is that the first humans to enter the American continents came from Asia by crossing the Bering land bridge during the last Ice Age, around 12,000 years ago. These were likely nomadic Asian hunters who gradually spread out and settled throughout the Americas. There is no evidence of Viking, Spanish, Portuguese, or South Pacific Islander contact with the Americas before Columbus in 1492.
