The Atlantic Migration Theory

There were many theories that involved moving people from Asia to North America. Some of the theories include walking over a land bridge called Beringia or sailing across the Pacific Ocean. The theory We choose to explain the Atlantic Theory. :)

As we stated before, the Atlantic Theory states that immigrants come from Asia to North America. They traveled to find a different path instead of taking the Bering Land Bridge which is very dangerous because it is frozen land.

What are "Clovis Points"

Evidence Supporting this Theory.

By now you're wondering, what are "Clovis Points?" Well, "Clovis Points" are spear points that travelers used to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The spears were used as weaponry. They used them to attack other travelers that wanted to slay them. They were also used to kill animals. The animals were either eaten or sold.

Why Did They Migrate?

In New Mexico there were sharp tips that looked like spear points. They were dubbed "Clovis Points." As exploration advanced, they found "Clovis Points" in Asia and other areas across the Atlantic Ocean.

The big question is WHY. They could have migrated for many different reasons. Here are our thoughts. They could have moved for better supplies such as deer or rabbit for meat or hide. They could have moved for freedom or a better chance of survival. They could have moved for better tools or technology like swords, spears, javelins, etc. More space to build shelter or villages for large groups of people. Better natural resources like water from lakes or melted ice. For protection against natural disasters like floods, winds, storms, etc.
