During the second half of the 20th Century, a consensus emerged among North American archaeologists that the Clovis people had been the first to reach the Americas, about 11,500 years ago. This is the way America got populated.
<h3>What are major changes occurred in America's population?</h3>
In 2006, America's population reached 300,000,000 inhabitants. According to the estimates of the US Census Bureau, at the end of 2019 the American population will exceed 330 million people. As can be seen, it is a population in constant increase, both for its positive birth rate and for the high rates of immigration that arrive in the country every year. With these numbers, a percentage of annual population growth of 0.62% is determined.
This amount of population makes the United States the third most populated country in the world, only behind China and India (which have 1.4 billion and 1.35 billion inhabitants, respectively).

What are the answer choices?
Answer:
Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates are reduced due to the wasteful production of maladaptive hybrids. Conversely, hybridization may rescue the viability of small, inbred populations. Understanding the factors that contribute to destructive versus constructive outcomes of hybridization is key to managing conservation concerns. Here, we survey the literature for studies of hybridization and extinction to identify the ecological, evolutionary, and genetic factors that critically affect extinction risk through hybridization. We find that while extinction risk is highly situation dependent, genetic swamping is much more frequent than demographic swamping. In addition, human involvement is associated with increased risk and high reproductive isolation with reduced risk. Although climate change is predicted to increase the risk of hybridization‐induced extinction, we find little empirical support for this prediction. Similarly, theoretical and experimental studies imply that genetic rescue through hybridization may be equally or more probable than demographic swamping, but our literature survey failed to support this claim. We conclude that halting the introduction of hybridization‐prone exotics and restoring mature and diverse habitats that are resistant to hybrid establishment should be management priorities.
