Human Arrival Theories in America

The video tutorial explores various hypotheses about the origin of humans in America. It begins with an introduction to the topic, highlighting the lack of consensus among scholars. The first theory discussed is the Bering Strait land bridge hypothesis, suggesting migration during the last glacial period. The second theory involves navigation across the Pacific Ocean from Oceania. The third theory posits an autochthonous population native to America. Each theory is examined with supporting evidence and challenges. The video concludes by encouraging further exploration of the topic.
