Question

What did the first settlers suffer the most when they arrived to this new land, that even more
than the half of them didn't survive?​

Answer 1

Respuesta:

At least 20,000 years ago modern humans from East Asia crossed the Bering Strait, a land bridge that then linked Eurasia with Alaska, and arrived on the American continent, a totally inhospitable territory, covered by glaciers several kilometers high that during thousands of years prevented them from continuing south.

When they managed to cross them, perhaps through some ice-free corridor, perhaps along the coast, they found a landscape, with new, more abundant resources and a better climate, and from there they expanded through the Americas at surprising speed: the Oldest remains found of human occupation, in Monte Verde, in Chilean Patagonia, confirm that they were already there at least 14,400 years ago.
