Question

The coastal-route theory suggests that people may have first arrived in the Americas by crossing _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) the land bridge but spreading south along the Pacific coast instead of moving inland.

Explanation:

According to this theory, humans first arrived in the Americas by crossing the kueril islands, and all the other islands across the Pacific coast of what is now Alaska, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest in the U.S, all the way to Central and South America.

This theory suggests that humans inhabited the inland regions of the Americas starting from the Pacific, which contradicts the main theory (the most accepted) that establishes that humans arrived by crossing the Bering Strait.
