The Americas were first settled by Stone Age Europeans who crossed the Atlantic by boat during the last Ice Age up to 20,000 years ago, a new book has claimed. The scientists behind the claim say people known as the Solutreans, living in France and northern Spain, followed the coast of an ice shelf stretching south into the ocean from the Arctic to reach the continent.
They believe they then settled in an area stretching from the eastern United States to Venezuela, while the continent was further settled by early people crossing a land bridge linking Asia with Alaska across what is now the Bering Sea. Across Atlantic Ice, by archaeologists Professor Bruce Bradley of the University of Exeter and Dr Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, is based on more than a decade's research into the origins of the Clovis culture.
