Who Was The Paleo-Indians Migrating North America?

Slide 1
As you can see in the timeline above, it would be easy to assume that the Paleo-Indians had started out in the Northern Regions of modern day of America. Though, this is not the case, the really are estimated to started migrating north from Africa in as far back as 200,000 BCE. But, aside from that, you can see that from Northern Asia, they traveled eastward towards Northern America for a time period of about 15,000 years.
Slide 2
So, the Paleo-Indians during their point of traveling crossed the land bridge Beringia, for food the hunted large mammals such as Mastodons, Mammoths, and an ancient form of Bison. Since at some points of travelling food could be scarce they also gathered berries and lived in a mostly hunter
gatherer lifestyle. Finally, as you saw in the prior slide, they travelled over a course of about 15,000 year
Slide 3
This slide shows the amount of distance they would travel per day, if it were an average. When is realism there would be more sudden bursts of movement and staying in one area for a longer amount of time.
Slide 4
While the Paleo-Indians were travelling it was suggested that the Indians were travelling they were following the food supply, such as Mammoths. The process would mostly go like the Paleo Indians would follow a Mammoth family, and the mammoths would eventually stop at a food source. Where the Indians would then attack over a course of a few days. After the food source is exhausted the Indians would move to the next food source.
Slide 5
In the ancient time of the Paleo-Indians they would craft spear heads from chipping rocks, such as the clovis point which was predominantly used while they were crossing the land bridges. They used the sharper points to stab larger animals. The folsom points were used in modern day America and has been found inside the bones of bison and compared to the clovis point its more wide and seems to be a bit sharper at its point.
