How do scientists believe the earliest people were able to come to noth America from Asia?
Because there is no recorded history on the origins of the many tribes of Native Americans that inhabit North and South America. Any theory like boats or walking across the Bering Strait thus can only be guesses.
another answer
Scientists are not sure how the first people came to America because the path was not preserved. For a long time the earliest discovery of human habitation was in New Mexico. People got there some way. They did not parachute from an airplane. No path of artifacts led to the habitation point in Clovis, New Mexico. I can see some prehistoric Harry Potter in Siberia saying, "Great big bird, fly me and my people to Clovis, New Mexico." No it did not happen that way! People were somewhere in North America before they came to Clovis. The question is where?
We know fishing boats existed in 50,000 b.c. which took people over at least 50 miles of water to Australia. Those fishing boats could have sailed along the shore of the Pacific Ocean establishing small fishing villages as they went. From about 30,000 to 12,000 b.c. the ocean was up to 100 meters (110 yards) lower than today. Those villages would now be covered with water and not visible. Islands 20 miles off the California coast are populated by creatures whose ancestors crossed to them over dry land. Archaeologists can not find indications of villages 100 meters under water if they existed.
There are indications that a camp in Virginia existed 23,000 years ago. It could have provided a source or people. The people there and who built the mounds in southern Illinois could have come from Europe. In 6,000 b.c. the entire population of North America north of Florid, east of the Rockies, and south of the Great Lakes was wiped out. Whatever happened destroyed traces of earlier settlements.
It would have been possible for people to walk from Siberia to Alaska over land.
The groups would have consisted of those who could fit on a small fishing vessel or those who could live by killing one seal at a time. An upper limit existed on each village.
Probably people came by several routes.

What is the name of the large island that is part of New York?
If you're referring to New York State, then the answer is Long Island.
If you're referring to New York City, then I believe the answer you're looking for is also Long Island. However, the question would perhaps have been better worded as: "What is the name of the large island that part of New York City is situated on?"
At 1400 square miles (3626 sq km), Long Island is the largest island in the continental United States. The entire island is part of New York State. Two of New York City's five boroughs (Brooklyn and Queens, aka Kings County and Queens County) occupy the western end of Long Island. The remainder of the island consists of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State but not New York City.
So the entire island is not part of New York City. Only the western end (the part that Brooklyn and Queens are situated on) is part of New York City.
The borough of Manhattan and the borough of Staten Island are the only two islands that are entirely within the boundaries of New York City (not counting all the small to miniscule islands dotted around the waterways that surround the city). But Manhattan Island and Staten Island can hardly be called "large" islands. Manhattan is only about 34 square miles (88 sq km) in total area, and Staten Island is a little over 100 square miles (259 sq km).
The remaining borough -- The Bronx -- is attached to the mainland United States. It is the only New York City borough that is not an island or part of an island.
Where does the word Asia came from?
The word Asia originated from the Ancient Greek word Ασία, first attributed to Herodotus (about 440 BC) in reference to Anatolia or, for the purposes of describing the Persian Wars, to the Persian Empire, in contrast to Greece and Egypt. Herodotus comments that he is puzzled as to why three women's names are used to describe one land mass (Europa, Asia, and Libya, referring to Africa), stating that most Greeks assumed that Asia was named after the wife of Prometheus but that the Lydians say it was named after Asias, son of Cotys who passed the name on to a tribe in Sardis. Even before Herodotus, Homer knew of a Trojan ally named Asios, son of Hyrtacus, a ruler over several towns, and elsewhere he describes a marsh as ασιος (Iliad 2, 461). The Greek term may be derived from Assuwa, a 14th century BC confederation of states in Western Anatolia. Hittite assu- = "good" is probably an element in that name. Alternatively, the ultimate etymology of the term may be from the Akkadian word (w)aṣû(m), which means "to go out" or "to ascend", referring to the direction of the sun at sunrise in the Middle East, and also likely connected with the Phoenician word asa meaning east. This may be contrasted to a similar etymology proposed for Europe, as being from Semitic erēbu "to enter" or "set" (of the sun). However, this etymology is considered doubtful, because it does not explain how the term "Asia" first came to be associated with Anatolia, which is west of the Semitic-speaking areas, unless they refer to the viewpoint of a Phoenician sailor sailing through the straits between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
