How did climate allow the first humans to come to the Americas from Asia?

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1
In a nutshell, climate is the description of a region's long-term weather pattern. Climate is defined by some scientists as the average weather for a specific place and time period, generally over a 30-year period. It's actually just a weather pattern for a certain place.
 
Temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunlight, cloudiness, and winds, averaged over a range of years, are the composite or typically prevalent meteorological characteristics of a location.
 
For decades, scientists believed the Clovis people were the earliest Americans, who arrived in the New World 13,000 years ago from northern Asia. However, new archaeological evidence suggests that people arrived in the Americas thousands of years earlier. These findings, together with genetic and geological findings, have led to a rethinking of where these pioneers came from when they arrived, and what path they traveled into the New World.
