Why did hunters probably cross the land bridge from Asia to north America thousands of years ago?

People crossed the land bridge from Asia to America over 13,000 years ago because they did not realize they were crossing a land bridge! They were simply waves of nomadic hunters and their families following animals.
Between the Arctic Ocean and the Brooks Mountain Range in Alaska lay a desert. However, close to the Brooks Range, melt water from glaciers made a narrow strip of land fertile. That fertile strip of land stretched across the land bridge into Siberia and through Alberta into the Great Plains of the United States. Bands of nomadic hunters and gatherers would follow animals along that strip. Since that fertile strip was not very wide, the nomads had to keep moving. They moved into the heartland of America.

Why did hunters probably cross the land bridge from Asia into north America thousand years ago?
Most likely following game and a more conducive climate.
How do scientist think hunters came from Asia to North America?
By a land bridge made out of ice
Who were the earliest inhabitants of north America were thought to have come across a bridge of land thousands of years ago from what continent?
Asia
Who probably were the first people to migrate to North America?
the big game hunters were the first people to migrate to north America in search of big game like woolly mammoths and came from Asia across a land bridge which is where the Bering strait is today, although there is new evidence of Polynesians making very primitive boats and against all odds making it to North America
Did Asian hunters find a passageway to America that helped to settle America?
There is no widely accepted evidence to support the idea that Asian hunters found a passageway to America that helped to settle the continent. The current scientific consensus is that the ancestors of modern Native Americans migrated to the Americas from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge around 15,000 years ago during the last Ice Age. This migration was not facilitated or influenced by Asian hunters finding a passageway.
Where was the first place in America where religion was practised?
Religion was practiced by the indigenous peoples of the Americas probably for tens of thousands of years. If the land bridge of the northwest really was the means of egress from Asia into the Americas, then religion was first practiced in what is now Canada and the northwest US.
How did the first Americans probably reach North America?
The truth is we don't know. The common theory has been by walking across the Bering Land bridge, but equal evidence supports by sea from Europe, Asia, and Oceans by hundreds to tens of thousands of years earlier.
Hunters crossed on what between Siberia to Alaska?
The Bering Sea Bridge.
Who walked to America?
The first Americans! For millions of years, North and South America were cut off from the world by deep, stormy waters. No one lived there. Then, during the last Ice Age, the oceans froze and parts of the sea bed were uncovered. A "land-bridge" of dry sea bed linked America and northeast Asia. Many wild animals lives on the land-bridge, so groups of hunters roamed across it in search of food. Eventually, they reached America and settled there. Historians are not sure exactly when this happened, but it was probably about 18,000 years ago.
How did the first native Americans probably reach north America?
The truth is we don't know. The common theory has been by walking across the Bering Land bridge, but equal evidence supports by sea from Europe, Asia, and Oceans by hundreds to tens of thousands of years earlier.
