Archaeologists are still debating who was first. The presently accepted first people came from Central Asia by route of a Bering Sea land bridge. They traveled through north East Asia, Alaska and down into the central plains of North America.

Some archaeologists believe early Europeans like the Clovis people of western France may have traveled along an eastern arctic sea route to the Americas.

Some have considered the possibility of African fishermen having encountered the coast of Brazil, and yet others think maybe Polynesian explorers traveled eastward to the western coast of South America.

Even still, archaeologists are unsure the Clovis People of the American mainland persisted after a major catastrophe occurred around 12,000 BCE, and that later migrations are which populated the Americas.
