Paleo-Indian

Article

The earliest settlers of the Americas. Entering the American continents via the Bering land bridge, an exposed shelf of land between Russia and Alaska, Paleo-indians migrated south through the Americas, following the movement of large mammals whose migrations were influenced by the slow ebb and flow of glaciers across the Northern Hemisphere.
