:How did humans exist in America before colonizers?

512 views

Like I looked up boats and according to Wikipedia, the earliest boats found are a million years ago. Pangea broke apart 200 million years ago. So how come Native Americans existed before the colonizers found the land?

There are 2 answers. There is some proof that the sea level was actually much lower only 20-30k years ago leaving many land bridges that no longer exist. For America specifically the ice age allowed people to migrate towards the American continents. Specifically from Russia to the Alaskan peninsula is relatively a short trip. But also allowed the people in Asia to travel to the many pacific islands on shorter boat trips compared to now.

Supposedly there is also proof of much earlier humans traveling to the Americas in an earlier ice age.
