Most anthropologists explain the peopling of North America through a migration theory that posits early humans crossed the Bering Land Bridge, known as Beringia, from Asia to North America during the last Ice Age, around 15,000-20,000 years ago. This migration occurred as lower sea levels exposed land that connected the two continents. Once in North America, these early populations spread across the continent, adapting to diverse environments and forming various cultures. Archaeological evidence, genetic studies, and linguistic analyses support this theory of migration and subsequent settlement.
The Peopling of British North America was created in 1986.

It is believed that the first humans to cross from Asia to North America did so around 20,000 years ago via a land bridge known as Beringia during the last Ice Age. This migration led to the peopling of the Americas by early hunter-gatherer groups.
