Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most widely accepted theory is that the peopling of the New World occurred via the Bering Strait land bridge between Asia and Alaska during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were lower and exposed a land bridge. This allowed humans and animals to cross into the Americas. There is archaeological evidence to support this theory, including artifacts and human remains found in the Beringia region that date back to at least 15,000 years ago.
