When Did Humans First Settle North America?
In a biblical worldview we know that dates thrown around for when humans first settled North America are not correct—so when did Native Americans first arrive?answersingenesis.org
"Genesis chapter 6 records the wickedness of man and God’s judgment with a global flood. This reduced the entire human population to just eight people aboard the Ark. These eight were told to spread out and fill the earth, but their descendants wanted to stay together and build a tower. In judgment for their rebellion, God confused their language, splitting them up around the world.
This means that no one could have reached modern-day North America until after the tower of Babel event.
In other words, no one was in the Americas prior to about 4,200 years ago. At that time, the peoples were dispersed and began travelling and eventually settling all around the globe."
I believe the actual physical findings confirm this.
And I thank you @Occams Barber. The migration of early humans around the globe is something that has always interested me. Australia more so. I quickly looked over the article linked. I'll read is later.Thanks @dlamberth. This article joins some of the dots from the White Sands footprints with other evidence of human settlement in the Americas. It still amazes me that these early humans got from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego in such a short period of time.
I also got a little bonus. Your Live Science article included a link to an Australian Museum article. The Museum article is a summary of the archaeology etc. covering Australian indigenous settlement over the last 50,000+ years. I've included a link below for interested Australian readers.
When did modern humans get to Australia?
Archaeological evidence shows that modern humans had reached South-east Asia by 70,000 years ago and that they had spread to Australia by at least 50,000 years ago.australian.museum
I've been reading this recently: The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity : Graeber, David, Wengrow, David: Amazon.com.au: Books
Yeah, it's kinda weird, isn't it. The people who headed off there I guess were the Welsh equivalent of the Pilgrim Fathers. It never really took off though. My Spanish isn't too dusty so I might fit in down there speaking it with a Welsh accent.
