For decades, we thought the first humans to arrive in the Americas came across the Bering Land Bridge 13,000 years ago. New evidence is changing that picture.
The first people to arrive in the Americas may have arrived around the Last Glacial Maximum, the coldest part of the last ice age (about 26,500 to 19,000 years ago). (Image credit: Karen Carr/National Park Service)

Yeah, and they didn't fully understand why you don't get so close to them fur bearing horned beasts.

The question is, who will be the LAST Americans?

If that land bridge ever reappears, you can bet that travelers will have to pay an ever-increasing toll.

Get your male or female hapolog DNA tested. You may be VERY surprised at the results. For men, every male predecessor who married/had a child would show a change in the hapolog if the wife provided a distinct/different gene to the offspring. For women, the same thing will show DNA changes that will be carried thereafter by at least some offspring.
I thought I knew my ancestry. I had a comprehensive DNA test (not Ancestry.com, among others). I learned that I have DNA changes from marriages/children in Puerto Rico, southern Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru. I'm pretty certain this means I have hispanic as well as 'native American' "relatives". - But, my ancestor decided to leave the Americas after about 8 generations and re-join the other migrants that went from India (with an Indian dialect) to ..... Finland! 26 generations later, I was born, a blue eyed lifelong blonde!

Your post encouraged me to search further into youtube listings of genetic research about the Americas and who might be the "first Americans". We have 21,000-23,000 year old foot prints at White Sands - along with giant 9 foot tall giant sloths, etc. And other research indicating that some ancient Americans came from Europe to the East Coast. Thanks for helping me to learn more on this important subject!
