The Solutrean hypothesis on the peopling of the Americas.

The leading scientific theory suggests that people crossed from Siberia to Alaska via a land bridge (Beringia) approximately 13,000–14,000 years ago. An alternative theory suggests that people may have traveled along the coast by boat much earlier, perhaps 15,000–16,000 years ago.

In 2004, archaeologists Dennis Stanford and Bruce Bradley suggested that about 20,000 years ago a group of people from the Solutré region of France, who are characterized historically by their unique lithic technique, migrated to North America along pack ice in the Atlantic Ocean. Once they made it to North America, their lithic technique dispersed around the continent, influencing the development of the Clovis culture.

The premise of the Solutrean Hypothesis is that the similarities between Clovis and Solutrean lithic technologies are evidence that the Solutreans were the first people to migrate to the Americas, dating long before mainstream scientific theories of the peopling of the Americas.

However, this theory is largely considered unproven. 💀
