1.) Throughout the course of a hundred years scholars and archeologists have offered various theories on how America was colonized. Through that time four major theories have come to pass, the Pacific Coast Migration, the Ice Free Corridor, the Solutrean Precursors to Clovis, and finally the Trans-Pacific-Contacts. The Pacific Coast Migration proposes that people entered the continents at the edge of Beringia, followed the Pacific coastline to the shores of Oregon and California on boats, and subsided primarily on marine resources.

It is believed that the Clovis culture hunters chased mammoth and bison through a passageway in the ice slabs, to arrive in North America. The passageway as to which the Clovis…show more content… Out of the four the reason for choosing this is because it presented the least amount of concrete evidence.

Furthermore it is said that the South American coast and Polynesia have some notion of contact between the two but again it is solely based on food which gives me the assumption that there are other plausible coincidences on how that food land in the spot on which others said.
4.) How was America discovered? This question has been a topic for debate for generations. Many believe that Christopher Columbus was the first to “discover” America but that is not true, Leif Erikson came about 500 years before him and there might very well have been more before him. We celebrate Columbus Day because he was the only one to have written proof of America.
