I learned in school that the people who crossed the Bering Strait did so because they were following the Mammoth.
However, since people do not EAT elephants, I assume they are not delicious.
With so many other animals around, wouldn't it be more feasible that they had some other reason for wanting to cross the Bering Strait?
Is there anything else that they could have been following?
Also, why did they ALL cross over?
I mean, Asians are similar to Native Americans, but they are not the same.
Didn't anyone disagree with the "little scheme of marching up and down..." and just stay behind. Did they have such a regimented society that everyone just followed the "leader"?
I BELIEVE that people crossed over--I am not saying that they came from space, or anything like that.
My question is more about being more creative with the COMPELLING REASON and the nature of the relationships in the group(s) that migrated in that direction.
