Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of morphological variability in skeletons from Asia and the Americas suggests that there were likely multiple migrations to the New World, rather than a single migration event. This is supported by genetic evidence as well. The Bering Land Bridge was a likely route for at least one of these migration events, but there may have been other routes as well.
