Migration Dates to the New World

| |
Texas, USA (Science): The Americas were the last major habitable continents to be settled by humans. Goebel et al. review recent archaeological finds, more accurate dates, and genetic evidence that have changed some ideas about how this migration occurred. The data favor an initial migration along a coastal ice-free corridor about 15,000 years ago from populations that were in Beringia, including Alaska, and perhaps a second migration around 13,000 years ago that led to the Clovis culture in North America.
