prehistoric America

Prehistoric America refers to the time before written records, encompassing the diverse cultures and civilizations that inhabited the continent. Indigenous peoples migrated from Asia over the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago, spreading across North America, Central America, and South America. They developed various lifestyles, from nomadic hunting and gathering to complex agricultural societies. Important cultures included the Mound Builders, Ancestral Puebloans, and the civilizations of the Maya and Inca. Archaeological evidence, such as tools, pottery, and structures, helps us understand their ways of life, social organization, and adaptations to different environments.
