How & When did Humans Arrive in the Americas?

MigrationS Multiple migrations of pre-historic peoples from Asia 12,000-30,000 years ago Land Bridge (Beringia) -original theory, most widely accepted Coastal Routes by sea -additional routes -recent research seems to confirm multiple routes Paleo-Indians/Clovis People

Beringia

Land Routes

Siberia North America Land Bridge

Coastal Routes 

How do we know this stuff? Archaeologists and geologists study layers or strata in the earth (bottom layers are older, top layers are newer) Radiocarbon dating (tests organic materials to determine age) DNA & Linguistics (compares DNA and languages to find connections between people in different parts of the world)

STRATA

Creation Stories Each Indian tribe today has its own creation story. Passed down through oral traditions Some call them legends or myths, but many tribal members believe in these creation stories like members of any other religion. Many tribes believe they were always here based on their creation stories.

Who were the 1 st Americans? Where did they originate? Differing theories

Kennewick Man Skeleton found near Kennewick, Washington ½ buried in Columbia River bank Approx 9300 years old Unique (“Caucasian” features?) Umatilla Indian Tribe objected to examination of skeleton Indian Grave Repatriation Act Evidence links ancestry to Japan

Family Resemblance?
