How did the first Americans get here? A story of boats, bones and ice 2016-08-10T04:00:00Z Ten thousand years later, the glaciers started to retreat and an ice-free corridor, roughly 900 miles long, opened between Alaska and the Americas.

How Did People Migrate to the Americas? Bison DNA Helps Chart the Way 2016-08-10T04:00:00Z “The idea is that there was a land bridge a few thousand years earlier than the formation of the ice-free corridor,” he says. Ancient DNA suggests the first Americans sidestepped the glaciers 2016-08-10T04:00:00Z This implies that instead of coming down the ice-free corridor, early Americans migrated in along the Pacific coastline, and moved into the corridor from the south only once the region was fertile. First Americans May Have Arrived by Coastal, Not Inland, Route 2016-08-10T04:00:00Z Evidence from human artifacts, he noted, suggests “people probably migrated from the south back up to the north through the ice-free corridor – so they’re circling around the mountains” in pursuit of bison.
