The first settlement of the Americas began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers first entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the Last Glacial Maximum. These populations expanded south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and rapidly throughout both North and South America, by 14,000 years ago.[1][2][3][4] The earliest populations in the Americas, before roughly 10,000 years ago, are known as Paleo-Indians.

The peopling of the Americas is a long-standing open question, and while advances in archaeology, Pleistocene geology, physical anthropology, and DNA analysis have shed progressively more light on the subject, significant questions remain unresolved.[5] While there is general agreement that the Americas were first settled from Asia, the pattern of migration, its timing, and the place(s) of origin in Eurasia of the peoples who migrated to the Americas remain unclear.[2] In 2019, a study by the University of Cambridge and University of Copenhagen concluded that Native Americans are the closest relatives to the 10,000-year-old inhabitants of the Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia.[6]

The prevalent migration models outline different time frames for the Asian migration from the Bering Straits and subsequent dispersal of the founding population throughout the continent.[7] Indigenous peoples of the Americas have been linked to Siberian populations by linguistic factors, the distribution of blood types, and in genetic composition as reflected by molecular data, such as DNA.[8]

The "Clovis first theory" refers to the 1950s hypothesis that the Clovis culture represents the earliest human presence in the Americas, beginning about 13,000 years ago; evidence of pre-Clovis cultures has accumulated since 2000, pushing back the possible date of the first peopling of the Americas to about 13,200–15,500 years ago.

Answer:

b) Cognitive-affective complexity

Explanation:

Cognitive-affective complexity refers to a form of thinking that people develop as they grow older. A person experiences cognitive-affective complexity when he/she is aware of positive and negative feelings that a situation makes them feel and what they think about the situation.

A person who has a high cognitive-affective complexity tends to<u> perceive nuances, subtle differences and contradictions in her experiences. </u>

<u />

Olga has just given birth and she feels fulfilled buy she also acknowledges feelings of concern and fear over being able to meet all of  her parental responsibilities. So Olga <u>has a dissonance between how she feels (fulfilled but afraid and concerned at the same time). Therefore she is perceiving all the contradictions that her new status as a parent has. </u>

Thus, this reflects b) cognitive-affective complexity.
