Clovis First Theory

The Clovis First Theory is an archaeological hypothesis suggesting that the Clovis culture, characterized by distinctive stone tools, represents the first group of people to inhabit North America around 13,000 years ago. According to this theory, these early humans migrated from Asia via a land bridge (Beringia) during the last Ice Age and spread throughout the continent. This theory has been challenged by evidence of even earlier human activity in North America, leading to ongoing debates about the timing and routes of ancient human migration onto the continent.
