How did the first person get onto the land?
Assuming the question "......onto the land" is refering to the continent North America, there are a couple of plausible answers, and both are argubly true. 1. The PaleoIndians--following their food source--animals, walked. They came across the Bering Strait (a "land bridge", at that time) into North America. 2. Asian exployers/navigaters touched land briefly down around the 14th-15th century, but did not stay.
Why did Paleo-Indians people build shelters?
I know this sounds flippant, but the Paleo Indians built shelters to get out of the weather. Really. The "Paleoindians" lived 12,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, and it was these people who came across the Bering Strait from Asia into the Americas. They were nomadic hunters and gatherers, and their open-air camps had what we would call crude lean-tos for days that they needed shelter from the rain, wind or snow.
Who lived in England before the Celts?
Was it the huns? Of course not, the Huns never went to England. Around 9000 BC, there were sharp half-Neanderthal crossbreeds, silent but knowledgeable; clicking and popping Capoids from Morocco; raspy Paleoindians from Scandinavia, who spoke with no vowels; and canny Old Europeans from the Caucasus, who were a mixture of everything. Then a bossy light-brown people from Ethiopia who reproduced at an alarming rate arrived and began to chase them all around. And this is all before the Indo- Europeans, our ancestors, arrived. We were still mucking around in Ethiopia, laughing like hell that the first wave had left.
The Paleo Indians spread throughout the Americas in what time?
Paleoindians or Paleoamericans were the first peoples to enter and inhabit the American continent during the final glacial episodes of the late Pleistocene. The prefix "paleo" comes from the Greek adjective palaios (παλαιός) meaning "old." The term Paleoindian applies to a specific archaeological period in the Western Hemisphere and is distinct from the term Paleolithic. Approximately 11,500 years ago.

How did people arrive in the Americas?
The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. Like most people, they were interested in getting enough to eat and leaving things a bit better for their children. We don't consider them "Native Americans" as they weren't born here and they predate the development of today's Native Americans(Indians). Rather we call them "PaleoIndians." They walked across dry land from Asia. The great ice age lowered the water of the Bering strait and created a new land, Beringia. Beringia is generally thought to have been a flat plain, dry and dusty. It did support plant and animal life.
Who were the first Indians to come to North America?
From an Article by "Icabod" The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. There was no point where somebody said "hey, welcome to the New World" Like most people, they were interested in getting enough to eat and leaving things a bit better for their children. We don't consider them "Native Americans" as they weren't born here and they predate the development of today's Native Americans(Indians). Rather we call them "PaleoIndians." However, some accounts consider the fact that these paleoamericans spread throughout the two continents and the various tribes that developed can be considered Native Americans, or Indians.
