CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Did he discover America?• It’s widely accepted that approximately 14,000 years ago, humans walked

across the Bering Strait from Siberia into Alaska. They’re called the Clovis people. From there, they spent the next few thousand years slowly migrating south and east across North America, and then into South America. But archeologists have made discoveries that show the Clovis weren’t alone.

• At the same time the Clovis people began leaving behind tools, human bones and other evidence of their presence in the northwest, humans were leaving remarkably similar items along the New England coastline. How was it, historians wondered, that the Clovis magically transported themselves so as to start their trek from both Alaska and New England at the same time? The answer – America was discovered simultaneously by two different cultures, one crossing the frozen Bering Strait on foot and the other island-hopping from Europe to America’s east coast by boat
