    16,000 BCE Solutrean Hypothesis

    This controversial theory proposes that people from the Solutrean culture of Ice Age Europe (modern-day France and Spain) crossed the Atlantic Ocean along the ice edge in small boats around 20,000 years ago and were among the first to populate North America. Supporters point to similarities between Solutrean stone tools and early Clovis tools found in North America. However, the hypothesis is widely rejected by most archaeologists due to lack of solid genetic and archaeological evidence.

    15,000 BCE Coastal Migration Theory

    This theory suggests that the first humans to reach the Americas migrated from Asia along the Pacific coastline in boats or by walking nearshore routes, shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum. They followed kelp forests and marine resources, arriving in the Americas before the opening of the inland ice-free corridor. Archaeological sites like Monte Verde in Chile support this early coastal entry.

    60,000 BCE Theory of Africa moving

    : Modern humans (Homo sapiens) evolved in Africa around 200,000–300,000 years ago and began migrating out of East Africa approximately 60,000–70,000 years ago. These early humans spread into Asia, Europe, and eventually the rest of the world, replacing or interbreeding with local archaic humans like Neanderthals and Denisovans. Genetic evidence, especially from mitochondrial DNA, supports this as the origin of all modern humans.
