There is evidence that humans have inhabited the Americas since about 12,000 BC. Current theory suggests that people naturally migrated in small groups across a 'land bridge' between Alaska and Siberia that came about as a result of the last ice age when there was a drop in sea level of a few hundred feet. There is also considerable speculation that humans might have been in the Americas much earlier, possibly since around 50,000 BC, and that they arrived by primitive boats either from Asia or Polynesia, or possibly both.

∙ 15y agoThe first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. The first people into the Americas were nomadic hunters. They didn't plan to come here, they followed the migrations of the game. 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.
