    It was originally theorized that the earliest settlers of North American were young adults and their families migrating from Asia, who crossed over Beringia, a land southwest of Alaska, and migrated to North America twelve thousand years ago in search of wooly mammoths to feed and clothe their families. However, current beliefs dictate that the earliest settlers may have come to North America well before the suggested twelve thousand years ago and were not from Asia but Europe. The discovery of a 9,000-year-old skeleton, dubbed the Kennewick man, sparked controversy after reconstruction tests revealed that he bared a resemblance to a European rather than a Paleo-Indian hunter. This was quite significant discovery considering that Europeans were not thought to inhabit the Americas to a much later date.
