♦How did the History of the Americas Start?
From dangerous migrations across the frozen Bering land bridge to encounters with Ice Age giants like saber toothed cats and short faced bears , humans have been able to piece together amazing clues thanks to the tireless efforts of archaeologists, anthropologists, geneticists, and historians . Everything we currently know is based on their incredible research.
There are still some gaps and mysteries that provoke discussion and lead to new theories. Questions like: Were there multiple migrations or just one? Were some early humans coming by sea? Which cultures flourished and declined prior to the start of written history? etc.
Even if there is more to discover or not, that's a big part of what makes this journey so interesting. Enjoy!
