The subject of when humans first arrived in America is hardly discussed within research. This discussion has culminated the last 5 years. See the references to articles in BBC and National Geographic below in this article
On one side of the argument are researchers who claim America was first populated around 13,000 years ago, toward the end of the last Ice Age.
On the other are those who propose a much earlier date for colonisation of the continent - possibly around 30,000-40,000 years ago.
The authors of the latest study reject the latter theory, proposing that humans entered America no earlier than 18,000 years ago.
A study of the oldest known sample of human DNA in the Americas suggests that humans arrived in the New World relatively recently, around 15,000 years ago.
