  3. HOW DID NORTH and SOUTH AMERICA BECOME POPULATED?

  4. THEORY 1:Beringia: The Land Bridge

  5. Beringia • Proof: DNA studies suggest that all humans today descend from a group of African ancestors who—about 60,000 years ago—began a remarkable journey. • Human remains found in North America 13,000 years ago are closely related to tribes from Asia; more specifically - Siberia

  6. Theory #2:Pacific Ocean Migration

  7. Pacific Ocean Migration • Thor Heyerdahl • Despite losing all of his academic credentials, Thor Heyerdahl believed that South America became populated by humans migrating in rafts across the Pacific Ocean. • Kon Tiki Raft – sailed in 1947 from South America to Polynesia in the Pacific and then back again to South America. DNA suggest possible migration.

  8. THEORY #3:Atlantic Ocean Migration

  9. Atlantic Ocean Migration • No historical proof • Very little DNA evidence • Thor Heyerdahl sailed the RA and RA II – Reed boats using Ancient Egyptian techniques in 1970. Travelled from Morocco to South America. • Why: Thor Heyerdahl had several questions? • 1. Why are there pyramids in South America/ Mexico? • 2. How do they know how to work gold? • 3. How come Native Americans look more like Egyptians than Siberian Eskimos?
