How the First Americans Got There
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- This week, researches published a genetic analysis of the 11,500-year-old remains of a baby found in Alaska, near where the first Americans crossed the Bering land bridge. That analysis has answered some lingering questions about human migration to the Americas.

Thank you SR Foxley for your continued support.
I wish he took a more active role in government!
SR Foxley will always be my President of Space.
You're welcome! Really though-- if it weren't for the other Patreon supporters (who in total contribute far more than I do), and of course the awesome Scishow team itself... well, then we probably wouldn't have this awesome content. :)
Its so mind blowing that what we think of as human history is just a tiny sliver of what we actually went through. 10s of thousands of years of just nomadic tribes wandering around
Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Cell
DenzinCanyon its a little more than that
What about Midichlorians?
Hahaha I felt like I was reading a high school text book all over again
midichlorians are all around us, in all life, basically mitochondria v2
Yea
Makes me wonder what kind of civilization Beringia had. They lived there thousands of years all of it at the bottom of the Bering sea.
there must be tons of artifacts buried there, I wonder if Russia or America will get them first.
Assuming by "civilization" you mean "culture with urban cities, state goverments, and complex social structures", then none: The earliest Civilizations like that only existed around 4000-3000 BC in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, tens to thousands of years after humans crossed over into the Americas. You then had Norte Chico Cultures like Caral in the Andes, Indus River Valley civilizations in India, and early Chinese civilization and then shortly after that in 3000-2000 BC, and then finally you had the Olmec in Mesoamerica around 1200 BC. Any other civilizations branched off from or were influenced by one of those indepedent 6.
Jabberwockxeno wb gobekli tepi?
Isn't "urban city" a pleonasm? Also "state governments", lel.
Jabberwockxeno what youre suggesting is true is the mainstrean standard. There's evidence of humans hunting mastadons in north america some 14000 years ago. How did they manage to make it to the Americas that early? Thats not proof of a civilization but it suggests that pre-sumerian humans could have possessed advanced knowledge, and could have built an advanced civilization before we think. Gobekli tepe isnt a civilization but its a very large ancient site and it was supposedly built by hunter gatherer nomads. Gobekli tepe shows our pre-sumerian capabilities very clearly. Ancient humans were curiously advanced for their time, sure they could have innovated but im more inclined to think that knowledge was passed on to them (and no, im not suggesting ancient aliens)
Damn, SciShow hosting must be treacherous now if you have to wear a bullet proof vest.
have you read youtube comments? lol
He just took a page out of the Marty McFly playbook and is wearing a died life preserver.
Piggybacking top comment for PSA: The perforated lines that surround their text to the left are moving clockwise.
Hahaa thanks for the laugh
seriously, if you havnt seen such a jersey before then you should be watching "reality" tv, not educational content. and if you up-like such a stupid comment, you need to up your own standards. its not even a good fking joke.
There were almost certainly multiple migrations, each separated by several thousand years.
thanks for doing a great job on this video, I read a couple of articles that came out before this and I couldn't grasp the concept fully until you explained it
I love SciShow NEWS updates!!! Please do more
it's unbelievable that entire nations existed for thousands of years and we forgot about them and their land is uninhabitable
Why the hosts of this channel hate blinking
It's because he's a host, and Satan lives within him. That's why
Glad to see this is back up!
So good gotta upload it twice!
I had never heard of the "Beringia standstill" hypothesis, frankly I find it super interesting! The story of the American Continent and the humans that inhabited before European contact was already very interesting, but this adds way more complexity that I could even have ever imagined!!!
They were already here 21-23 thousand years ago, Carbon dating from seeds in human footprints in New Mexico show Clovis wasn't first. They probably rafted along the California coast and populated North East from Texas, avoiding the ice sheets.
It’s even proven that Vancouver Island wasn’t fully engulfed in the ice sheet
Hey! Great sound edit! Solid improvement.
When this article hit the news and I read it I KNEW ya’ll were going to make a video! 👏👏👏
I love that science can give us a way to look at history and that everything is interdisciplinary
This is scientific history..... I like it
Steve Wilson if you love scientific history about the Americas you will love 1491 by Charles Mann.
Not Sure I know history is scientific to an extent. Hence studies like archeology. Where you're studying old relics and bones to find out where they came from and when.
The original natives of America were people of color who were killed off. The survivors were labeled as slaves
Anthony Henderson but of course
@@anthonyhenderson296 I will believe everything you say
This is incredibly fascinating. I love learning about history.
bruh this video is helping me so much on my history essay thx
I watched a video by North 02 that said a mammoth was found in California that was dated to 130,000 years old that showed evidence of butchering. I would love to hear a SciShow video addressing this.
Set within treacherously steep cliffs, and hidden away in the secluded valleys of northeast Brazil, is some of South America’s most significant and spectacular rock art. Most known art comes from the archaeologically-important National Park of the Serra da Capivara in the state of Piauí, and it is causing quite a controversy. The reason for the uproar? The rock art is being dated to around 25,000 years ago, while a small number of eminent rock art specialists are proposing an even earlier date - perhaps as far back as 36,000 years ago.
Nice explanation
this is one of my favorite history subjects
May you please do more videos like this!
To anybody asking why they reuploaded, it's becouse they deleted the original video.
Too many pronouns... Who is they?
Scishow? YT? Both?
My real question is why was the video taken down in the first place, I'm just wondering.
SwayBack They=SciShow.
I don't know why they delezed it but I know why they reuploaded.
Should have left it deleted. Even 6 years ago the information was outdated
i like this channel because you can learn a lot in 6 minutes short and sweet
SR Foxley is now like the permanent President of Space, Thanks man
I will too try to support my fav creators once I'm outta college
That's awesome! I wish you the best regarding your schooling and employment thereafter, eh!
Columbus and the Vikings wished they were this early!
Solutrean
Foreal
Lol
Columbus was a genocidal psychopath. A malefic disgrace of a human being.
Columbus died of Syphilis of the brain.
I think that the likely scenario is that most of the first Americans followed the pacific coastline in small boats. Would have been much easier than walking 15,000 miles in the middle of an ice age.
Pacific is a very big ocean
And also Siberians and Americans have similar cultures
@@gamermapper During the ice age the first Americans could follow the the coastline from Siberia to Alaska. Even after the ice age it could be a very short trip, depending on where they crossed.
it sucks that hueyatlaco is never talked about, spears found in the same layer that there are 250,000 year old animal bones in, and carvings of animals on some of the 250,000 year old animal bones yet no ones says nothing on it
Mr. Aranda is back !
I'd love to see an update to this video! There's always new info
This isn't entirely accurate. There is still a debate wether the Proto-Americans first colonised Chile, by hugging the Pacific Coast, or Alaska, by simply crossing Beringia. The article posted by Nature is more about who were the Proto-Americans genetically, which is an important find but isn't at all saying that they crossed the landbridge. In fact, linguistic evidence in addition to plant and animal DNA points to the coastal route hypothesis.
What is the linguistic evidence specifically? Are western coast languages similar and share cognates across North and South America?
Few things are entirely accurate.
Nassos Panago ua-cam.com/video/y4pmFKvh4HY/v-deo.html
I have a feeling that boats played a role the settlement of the west, it seems to me that there's a reasonable chance that seafaring crafts were even involved. There's no evidence for it that I know of, there's little evidence that people used boats to move down the coast though, but that theory is gaining credit...
I'm going out in a limb but I'd wager that if we really knew the truth and details of ancient humans, their trails and tribulations, their massive accomplishments and the actual real time frames... We would be absolutely floored!
I'd say it would destroy our current models and ideas... But hey, I'm just a guy that knows too little and thinks too much...
@@swayback7375 I agree.check out GeocosmicRex.They found human bones 100,000 years old.Whoever found them got in trouble for literally digging too deep.Randal Carlson has been on Joe Rogan.
The fact that all of this can be figured out from DNA sequences is mind boggling
Yes because native people were in alaska alot, most native americans i've met came from alaska
So glad there's some archaeology in the news!
Any chance you could touch on the Kelp highway hypothesis sometime in the future?
Yo there's nothing wrong with just saying "I DON'T KNOW".....🤷♂️
😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
that's boring
anyone they could have asked was genocided by the europeans. we will never know
Coming via Berengia has had a lot of pushback in last few years. From studies and claims of it not being inhabitable (it was still a rocky cold waste) to more and more finds along the coast and islands that date to that time or earlier (mainly in places like the Channel Islands of California).
A strong theory now is that humans followed a maritime path along the coast following kelp forests (lots of kelp found at sites dating to then, food and tool usage), seals (meat and fat), and island bird colonies (eggs and meat).
The pushback isn’t negating the Bering straight theory. It’s simply stating that sea travel along the coast was probable. It also means that with lower sea coasts, finding those elusive sites will be extremely difficult. Genetics still point to a bottleneck effect from an original populating group out of Asia. So really, the Bering straight theory is still there.
Nice to see someone who actually does research on current research.
We have proof if Beringia. Proof from the bottom of the ocean will be quite difficult.
Thanks for the mention of Eons, I like the videos there. How come they don't have a playlist though?
This video should be far longer and discuss more than just these babies
This model is a lot more complicated than explaining the differences between these Native Americans and the North and South American Natives with a possibility that not all of these groups arrived via the Bering Strait. Some may have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. This all happened so long ago that islands that may have existed, that would have aided this path, may be gone now. We may still find evidence of this. Most of the Ocean floor is unexplored. There is a lot of genetic evidence suggesting Atlantis was more than myth. There are a lot of conspiracies that cloud the history so much that people won't even entertain the idea that people may have occupied a large island group that is no longer above sea level in the Atlantic...
They found stone spearheads in Maryland that are 20,000 years old. That would indicate a passage towards the east. There's fossilized human foot prints in White Sands Nevada that are 23,000 years old........so far all these absolutes have been shown to be speculative.
I started looking at this dudes hand movement, now i cant stop looking.
Fracking FASCINATING. What I give to have a time machine.
You left out how deep is the ocean between Syberia and Alaska.
about 150 feet, and in the timeframe being discussed, there was no ocean there, it was dry land, over 1000 miles from north to south.
Kudos SciShow!!! Thanks for sharing! QUESTION?~ Why didn't some of the giraffes, zebras, elephants, lions, tigers, cheetahs, hyenas and other species migrate too, to the Americans?
They didn't have GPS navigation 😆
I heard camels originated here and land bridged it west.
This is amazing.. Its always great to learn more about where i come from. Im glad that this is still something that the world takes interest in, most of our history has been erased... Intentionally.
Much was also forgotten during the Great Dying. Native Americans spent over 100 years just trying to survive
3:45
the most obvious conjecture would be that at some point some of them got through the ice wall, and others stayed in beringia, no?
"In the western half of the planet"? You can't be serious...
that baby has no clue that she gonna be on the internet now
VERY INTERESTING! :)
@Yodie Yuh It would seem that you are quite capable of indirectly questioning, and answering yourself.
You are the one who challenged the references, and the chain of references.
Shalom!
Considering the age of some of the buildings in south america, and the structures they have found underwater, I'm more inclined to think people migrated to south america first , then migrated north.
McFly, I thought I told you not to come in here!
Ooooh! Fascinating!
One of the best
Isn't it amazing that they went to the west by going east
nice video sci show
That's fascinating
I almost just shat my pants in the first 12 seconds from seeing your wardrobe. T-shirt with a freaking vest hahaha
Wasnt this already uploaded?
+RMoribayashi
The Polynesians became the Native Americans not the Alaskans
www.infoplease.com/science-health/life-science/oldest-human-remains-north-america-found
Unlikely. To change content, they'd have had to rewrite it and reshoot it...time consuming procedures that they couldn't just do on short notice. In which case, why upload the first version at all?
Of course I disagree with your premise too, but aside from that it does seem impractical. :)
Interesting notion, though it's worth saying there's room for both possibilities. There's ample evidence to suggest humans migrated across the land bridge...and perhaps evidence to support landings from the ocean as well. They're not mutually exclusive.
+Max Salmon
The polynesian languages are very very simmaler to the Native American languages, theres a state in Mexico called Sinaloa, and Hawaiians have sweet potatoes, that vegetable isnt native to that island, potatoes are native to The Americas, they must of been braught back.

Just imagine how mysterious it must have been to be a Siberian who knew there was something across the strait and venture into the cold artic for some strange reason and then Years later sea levels rise and people have forgot about it for thousands of years. I’m sure Siberian’s in colombis time we’re laughing at the fact that people believed he discovered new continents
A rhyme I use is Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1982.
I was from the Q-m3 and Kennewick man are my ancestor.
It's fascinating...according to this, the unearthed babies are genetically closer to modern Alaskans than North and South Americans are to each other
I couldn't focus for the last half of the video when I noticed he is wearing a vest with a short sleeve shirt. Don't want your chest to be cold, but don't mind your arms cold? I would like to see a video on the topic of why people do that.
It looks kool
Kenneth T style man, something you clearly lack
If your core is warm, you feel warm, not cold.
It works for people with good circulation. Sadly, I am not one of them.
It is common in colder climates to wear similar style clothing. The vest keeps your core warm and allows you to work unencumbered by larger jackets, or when wearing a larger jacket would overheat you. The vest may be too warm but your arms are natural heat sinks to balance out your temperature. This is why you should dress in layers in cold environments.
Based on the age of eastern US and South American sites researchers now believe that the first Americans got here by coasting in small boats long before the northern glaciers allowed travel out of Berengia.
Lies 😂 there were no boats 20 -30 thousand years ago
As a linguistic nerd, i speculate that some of the beringians moved back into asia as it would explain the Dené-Yeniseian language family: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den%C3%A9%E2%80%93Yeniseian_languages
Highly questionable. This is wild speculation, not an actually accepted language family.
It was aliens...
Metah Hatem you have a point.We all know UFO's exist now so just maybe
melayka vazquez no they dont
fake taxi Anything can be a UFO, so your argument is invalid.
"The ancient Native American and East Asian genomes are so different." What?! Who thought this? Some isolated South Americans look straight up like some East Asians. Surely a few thousand years can account for the differences.
DJ Trevi found in salt water. What effect does salt water have on dating Eva(insert joke here). Seriously though, i wonder about the effect of sea water in that study. Should also mention how the daily mail is a very skewed source. Media outlets can hardly be construed as valid sources of scientific studies. Better to post the actual study or multiple publications referring to it. Videos are even worse. Especially when they are made for profit. They will always sensationalize for views or viewers, depending on the format. Publications of research are not made for profit. They explain their methodology and list all their sources.
The crossing date is still limited by the period in which the Land Bridge was traversable, which is mostly between 17.5K BP and 14.5K BP, and not more than 19K BP or less than 11K BP.
No not really, Most of them came over in boats following the coastline. People were in the Americas at least 30,000 years ago. Long before the land bridge.
so youre saying that it took humans over 300,000 years to even think of making a boat
How does this relate to the kelp highway hypothesis?
Originally came from Asia. By foot mostly
matthew mann the went into Asia from Greece tho
*MITOCHONDRIA is the powerhouse of the cell*
42ndSubject its more than that
Please please do more videos on The migration
I swear you guys got a new mic
VoidTitan it is very tinny, i agree.
Make the Beringians great again!
How did they live there for so long,wasn't the land there completely frozen?
Stavros yes it was. This is false science. Checkout 1491 by Mann. Turns like a novel the way he writes.
Look at how Inuit peoples lived without modern tech.
Probably a lot like that.
Um just because it's called the ice age doesn't mean it's always frozen year round. It helps to look up the climate during the Ice Age.
Theory is everyone's continents used to be connected and each broke off and formed their own, they were on this side when the bridge flooded and wiped out the bridge forming their own continent.
why is hueyatlaco is never talked about, spears found in the same layer that there are 250,000 year old animal bones in, and carvings of animals on some of the animal bones that date to 250,000 years old yet its never talked about
Is there any sign of what happened to the Beringians? Like did the civilization blend in with other civilizations, or somehow get wiped out?
They were the Inuits of Alaska they share closely related DNA to the indigenous people of Siberia
We need an episode where we actually meet SR Foxley, I've heard/seen that name since the beginning of scishow
It would be a rather boring episode, I'm afraid. :)
Is Michael pregnant? :O
Samuel Nasta it is called holidays food baby. We all have that right now in NA. XD
Is he praganat!?
Why was this rel uploaded?
Turmunhk Ganba Becouse they deleted the video.
Mr. Dr. Genius - I don't think he meant it like that. The question is why did they delete the other video and upload it again? Was there something wrong with the other video or something?
Combatressav I don't think you understand sarcasm.
Mr. Dr. Genius - You can't really detect sarcasm through text. You didn't capitalise anything, or point out it was sarcasm. Furthermore, the comment wouldn't have made sense even if it was sarcastic.
Sarcasm in textform needs some sort of indicator - unlike speech there is no tone or pronunciation variance you can use to judge a sentence. So you need to do it over the top, with several clues, or simply with the good old '' at the end.
damn this is mindblowing
Kinda missed the pre Clovis/ Solutrian spear points on the east coast.
Why i got 2 notification on the same video?
Because it is twice as good as a normal video
One for USR1 and one for USR2.
How did the native black Australians get there seeing how it's an island
when the iceage happened the water level went down. so there were some ways from Eurasia to Australia. such as their own land bridge or boating across.
Derrick Barney but I've heard that they have been there for 60,000 years so back then they did not have a boat to take to that Island and I doubt there was a land bridge that large to get from Eurasia all the way to Australia
But I've seen no videos on the topic. Do you know any videos I can watch links please (if possible)
Derrick Barney thanks bro I'll check it out
There is so much we don't know from back then we can't really say. It's all been lost to time.
What was wrong with the original video?
Good
All this evidence, and the Solutrean hypothesis, like a sparkly vampire, refuses to die. Also, is it possible to elect SR Foxley Dictator For Life... Of Space?
Unbelievable how desperate they are to promote this land bridge theory.
Saw the title and thought, just ask the Mormons.
Mormons think that they are the Center of this Planet and the Universe, they think they know everyone's family history!!!!
Read the CES letter, you will find similarities between the book of mormon map and the great lakes location. Look up "Vernal Holley Maps" theory. Joseph Smith's family business were treasure hunters. The Church will never inform you about the family business, before Joseph Smith's visions. Or what Book Joseph smith was taught in school, which had similarities with the book of mormon.
So how did people first get to Hawaii and the Pacific islands?
Is the speaker conducting an orchestra?
Findings on the coast of Virginia beg to differ
BFjordsman cites, plz
A life jacket for the flood of crappy comments.
What took you so long to make this video?
So why did this video get posted twice?
Nani?
It still pisses me off how people say that Columbus discovered America.
Giannis Anteyokounmposiwndowiukdowommsqowu well technically he did he might not have been the first, but he still technically discover it.
zachary thebeau no he landed in central america in the west indies. He did not discover what is currently the US like most people think. Even Leif Eriksson landed in Canada in 1002, not the US
Columbus discovered America.
MrUranium238 the natives would beg to differ.
Discovered as in let people know about it
thanks SR Foxly
You're welcome! But really, thanks to all the other patreon supporters (who contribute far more than I do each month) and the Scishow crew itself, without which none of this would exist, eh!
Native Americans basically ancestry East Asian.
Yes, but no
@Chip 10s of thousands not millions, seeing as how modern Homo sapiens have only been around for at the most 500,000 years.
