Bering Movement
About 15,000 to 75,000 years ago, During the last known ice age, a form of land bridge was formed between what is now Siberia and Alaska, after glaciers of ice werefrozen creating a path that was used by migrants coming from various different parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. They traveled in groups throughout a long period of time, seeking new beginnings and forsome perhaps, new hunting grounds. Though it is believe that this migrants were the first Americans to walk upon this land, it has been debated whether they came across the Bering strait or if they hadreached the land by sea from Asia or other pacific islands(Digital history). However, evidence have been found over the course of time, which led archeologist to believe that the first Americans camefrom either Europe or Asia. Of course, this is all just a theory, because it is uncertain and almost unpredictable to determine if this migrants were in fact the first Americans.
Before the Beringstrait was formed, it is believed that no one at that time, in any of the continents of either Europe, Africa, or Asia, knew of the existence of the continent of America. However, after the formationof this land mass, the people around it or that knew about it, did not dare to cross the land mass because they were afraid of what was at the other end. Yet after seeing that some animals werecrossing the land, hunters and fishers, decided to follow the migratory paths of animals that were their source of food into the more southerly parts of Alaska(The first Americans 3). They saw that with newhunting grounds and unoccupied land, they could be able to start a new life. Soon after, waves of people in groups started to migrate more deeply into what is now Canada, North America and SouthAmerica.
The migrants were quickly adaptable to their new environment, some capable of surviving freezing temperatures, provide their own clothes from hides and furs, and were able to construct small...
