THEORY Kodiak's archaeological sites led the Fitzhughs to rethink the origins of North American cultures. Scholars previously believed that the Beringian Land Bridge was the only route for Ice Age humans to come to the New World. Now there is overwhelming evidence that coastal regions were also inhabited. It would have made sense for prehistoric travelers to take a coastal route; it's even possible that maritime peoples came across the open water. The North Pacific and Bering Sea coasts were warmer and more hospitable to settlement than the frigid interior tundra. |
