"The date of the arrival of humans in North America has not been accurately
established, but it is known to have occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch
(1,600,000 to 10,000 years ago). For some time the earliest human occupation
of America was thought to date to the last (Wisconsin) glacial period, or
about 35,000 to 20,000 years ago. More recently, however, some authorities
have asserted that the first arrivals were much earlier, even up to 60,000
years ago. The site of entry into North America is widely assumed to have
been a land bridge--formed as glaciers advanced and sea levels fell--where
the Bering Strait now divides Asia and America."
