The expansion of people throughout North and South America began with the migration of early humans from Asia across the Bering Land Bridge, which connected Siberia to Alaska during the last Ice Age. As climate conditions improved, these groups spread southward and eastward over thousands of years, adapting to diverse environments. The development of agriculture around 10,000 years ago further facilitated population growth and settlement, leading to the establishment of complex societies and civilizations across the continents. Ultimately, trade, exploration, and cultural exchange among these groups contributed to the rich demographic tapestry we see today.
A continent is a large expansion of land. There are seven continents in the world: Antarctica, Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

Christopher Columbus is generally credited with discovering America in 1492. It was his voyages that began the European expansion into and control over the American continents.
The American continents refer to North America, Central America, and South America. These continents make up the landmass of the Western Hemisphere.
Pangaea formed around 335 million years ago as all the Earth's continents came together to form a supercontinent due to the movement of tectonic plates. Over time, Pangaea began to break apart through the process of continental drift, leading to the formation of the continents we see today. The sequence of continents forming from Pangaea includes Laurasia (North America, Eurasia) and Gondwana (South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India) breaking apart and drifting towards their current positions.
