THE FIRST AMERICANS
No one knows for sure how the first people arrived in America. They may have crossed a land bridge that many scientists think connected Asia and North America thousands of years ago. They may have come by boat from Asia or Europe. Why they came is also a mystery. Possibly they followed mammoths or other game animals or were hunting seals and whales along the coast. Over time, these people settled in America becoming the first "native Americans." These first Americans arrived thousands of years ago. As food supplies improved, the population of the Americas increased. By A.D. 1500, million of Native Americans, belonging to more than 2,000 different groups, lived on the two continents of North America and South America.
