Rewriting history: 'Lost world' could prove how first Americans arrived - FOX Weather

Theory Briefing

  • New evidence points to a coastal boat route as the path first Americans took, not the overland Bering Land Bridge long taught as fact.
  • The discovery is described as a 'lost world' site, suggesting a physical location with remains that directly challenge the dominant migration model.
  • If the boat-arrival theory holds, it rewrites when and how humans first populated an entire hemisphere — one of archaeology's biggest open questions.
