Homework Help: history

From where did early North Americans migrate and how did they reach North America? Describe the lifestyles of early North American men and women.

Im not sure which way to answer this one. I have two answers. The first was coming from Asia and crossing the land bridge at the bering strait. But my gut is telling me that this is not the answer but the answer is coming from Europe by boat since the third part of the question asks about lifestyles and the only thing we know about those coming from Asia was that it was during the ice age so I don't think the answer about the land bridge is correct. Help please

"From where did early North Americans migrate ... " <~~That alone tells you the question is not referring to Europeans who came by boats.

Read many of these:

Your first answer is correct. The first people in the Americas came from Asia, probably by walking across the land bridge at Bering Strait. There's also evidence that some came in small boats, following the northeastern Asia and northwestern American shoreline.

The first Europeans in America were the Vikings about 1000 A.D. They didn't leave much of a settlement.

•Do you think that the Korean War was merely a civil war in which the United States supported one side, or should it be considered an international war in which the United States used the United Nations to further its anticommunist policies? Why?
