Evan Into the Americas Theory: most moved into America on the Bering Strait (ice bridge) and down the west coast Coincided with end of ice age (extinction of many large mammals), so a lot of the first civilization there died off. Very little is known about migration into North America Much harder to survive in the Americas, so evidence of a certain time period that they moved here is scattered and not at all exact

Into the Pacific MORE BOATS!!! Spoke Austronesian languages Took agriculture with them (after the ice age) Started building societies Impact on the environment, especially Easter Islands Dylan

And then most of the world was inhabited… But migrations never stopped. Katy
