Coastal Migration Theory
The coastal migration theory is the most probable way that early humans migrated into the Americas. Some scientists say that the ice-free corridor that revealed the passageway into the americas from the land bridge may have not existed until after the the land bridge disappeared. If early people skirted along the west coast of the americas in boats, they could have gotten to the americas a lot earlier because the ice near the west coast of the americas melted a lot faster than the ice on the interior. Scientists have also found various 14,000 year old artifacts scattered throughout parts of southern California, all the way down to the north of chile. The Bering land bridge was not present until 11000 years ago, so if scientists found artifacts
and human remains 14000 years old near Mexico, that means that people would have had to arrive in the americas 3000 years before the Bering land Bridge appeared. If early people skirted the coastline of the americas in boats, they could have arrived in areas from California through Chile, so that is another piece of evidence that people came through coastal migration. In conclusion, the coastal migration theory is an accurate example of a way early people could have migrated to the Americas.
