During the last glaciation people were not farmers, they hunted and gathered roots, nuts and berries.

This meant they had to go where the food went. If animals moved to warmer areas to find their food, people had to follow or they starved.

There was no point in staying in an area of arctic tundra in which winter lasted for hundreds or thousands of years if there was nothing to eat.

What caused humans to travel from one continent to another during the Ice Age?

During the Ice Age, lower sea levels created land bridges between continents, like the Bering Land Bridge between Asia and North America. This allowed early humans to migrate to new continents in search of food and resources.


How did the last great ice age have an effect on humans settling in the Americas?

During the last great ice age, large ice sheets locked up much of Earth's water, lowering sea levels and creating a land bridge between Asia and North America known as Beringia. This allowed humans to migrate from Asia into North America, eventually leading to the settling of the Americas.


How tall were humans during the ice age?

there were no humans in the ice ageNonsense, stone age modern humans lived on all the continents except antarctica and south America in the last ice age. It is hard to be certain of average height, that varies both with inheritance and diet.


Homo sapiens that lived during the ice age was called what?

Cro-magnon or homo sapiens sapiens. By the end of the last ice age, we had evolved (as best we can tell) into the form we currently have.


Why did the stone age humans migrate?

Stone age humans migrated in search of better resources like food, water, and shelter. They also migrated to avoid natural disasters, competition with other groups, or to follow the migration patterns of animals they hunted. Additionally, population growth and social dynamics may have also driven migration within or between groups.

Why did early humans migrate out of Africa during the stone age?

It is human nature to migrate when and if we can. One hypothesis as to how they were able to migrate out of Africa into Asia is that a long wet/rainy period caused large lakes, rivers and plants in the Sahara, which is desert today and was desert before this wet period, making it difficult to impossible for animals, including humans, to move up into Asia.

During the Paleolithic era, humans were able to migrate across the globe from Africa due to the development of tools and technologies that helped them adapt to different environments, such as clothing, fire, and hunting tools. Additionally, changes in climate and food availability may have spurred population movements.


Early humans were able to move out Asia into north America during the ice age because of a land bridge?

Yes, early humans were able to migrate from Asia to North America during the last Ice Age by crossing a land bridge known as Beringia. The land bridge connected present-day Siberia and Alaska due to lower sea levels caused by the large amount of water stored in glaciers. This allowed humans and animals to cross over from Asia to North America.


When did humans migrate across the land bridge between Asia and North America?

It is believed that humans migrate across the land bridge between Asia and North America about 25,000 years ago. However, this is not definite as some historians argue it could be about 70,000 years ago.this id wrong info
