“PALEO-INDIANS”
“PALEO-AMERICANS”
.
*”paleo-indians” is a ‘classification term’ given to the first peoples who entered (and subsequently inhabited) ‘the americas’ during the final ‘glacial episodes’ of the ‘late pleistocene period’*
.
(the prefix “paleo-” comes from the greek adjective palaios (παλαιός), meaning “old” or “ancient”)
(the term “paleo-indians” applies specifically to the ‘lithic period’ in the ‘western hemisphere’ + is distinct from the term ‘paleolithic’)
(evidence suggests ‘big-animal hunters’ crossed the ‘bering strait’ from ‘eurasia’ into ‘north america’ over a land + ice bridge (‘beringia’), that existed between 45,000–12,000 BCE (47,000–14,000 BP))
(small isolated groups of ‘hunter-gatherers’ migrated alongside herds of large herbivores far into ‘alaska’)
(from c. 16,500 – c. 13,500 BCE (c. 18,500 – c. 15,500 BP), ice-free corridors developed along the ‘pacific coast’ + valleys of ‘north america’)
(this allowed ‘animals’ (followed by ‘humans’) to migrate south into the interior)
(the people went ‘on foot’ or used ‘primitive boats’ along the coastline)
(the precise dates + routes of the ‘peopling’ of the ‘new world’ are subject to ongoing debate)
(‘stone tools’ – particularly ‘projectile points’ + ‘scrapers’ – are the primary evidence of the earliest human activity in ‘the americas’)
(‘crafted lithic flaked tools’ are used by ‘archaeologists’ + ‘anthropologists’ to classify ‘cultural periods’)
(scientific evidence links ‘indigenous americans’ to ‘asian peoples’, specifically ‘eastern siberian populations’)
.
.
(‘indigenous peoples’ of ‘the americas’ have been linked to ‘siberian populations’ by…)
*’linguistic factors’*
*the distribution of ‘blood types’*
*in genetic composition as reflected by molecular data, such as ‘DNA’*
.
.
(there is evidence for at least 2 separate migrations)
.
.
*between 8000–7000 BCE (10,000–9,000 BP) the climate stabilized, leading to a rise in population and lithic technology advances, resulting in more ‘sedentary’ lifestyle*
