1.Why did the humans migrate to america?
The humans first came because they wanted to find new land and new food they could hunt. Also they came over because they had the opportunity to. (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/09/0903_030903_bajaskull.html)
2.Who were the first americans?
The first americans were Native Americans or as Christopher Columbus called them Indians. But their could have been some people not the native americans like the Kennewick man, but we don't know for sure about how long ago he was alive or how he came here.

1.The reigning theory is that the Early Humans Migrated to north america over the bering land bridge in search of food and water. the bering land bridge was then covered over water because the ice age was melting away, which then stranded the nomads. (nature.com)

2. A study of skulls excavated from the tip of Baja California in Mexico suggests that the first Americans may not have been the ancestors of today's Amerindians, but another people who came from Southeast Asia and the southern Pacific area.(National Geographic)

The early humans migrated because things may not have been so good where they used to live. Climate change might be one of the reasons early humans migrated to North America. Anthropologists believe that they migrated behind herd unaware of the new land they came to.Early Americans also might have migrated because of conflict over hunting land and rights.Early humans could have migrate because they wanted new land and life.
The 1st Americans could have be skulls found in Mexico.skulls were found at the tip of Baja California in Mexico these skulls dated back to 13,500 years ago and are thought to have been related to Americans.Christopher Columbus gave the Native Americans the name Indians by mistake. scientists found tools from 12,500 years ago which could be related to the 1st Americans.

Who were the first Americans?
traditionally the native Americans are believed to be the first to go over the land bridge into America but in recent research the skulls from california look different than the modern looking native americans conventional wisdom says that native americans descended from prehistoric hunters who walked northeast asia across a land bridge formed at the end of the ice age in brazil they found some of the oldest human remains among them a skeleton named luzia that is more than 11,000 years old luzia doesn't look like a native americans instead her facial features closely with the native aborigines these people originated about 60,000 years   The researchers believe Luzia was part of a people, referred to as "Paleoamericans," who migrated into the Americas possibly even by boat long before the Mongoloid people. These Paleoamericans may later have been wiped out by or interbred with Mongoloids invading from the north.

Why did the early humans migrate to north America?
some say they moved because they were running out of food or they were going with their food and discovered a land bridge and some people say they moved because of the climate it may have become too cold for them or they could have just wanted to explore and find other areas of the world with more resources and animals for them to hunt

Why did early Americans migrate to North America?
They moved to North America in search of food. About ten thousand years ago there was a land bridge between Asia and North America. The Nomadic people move with their food. This led them across the land bridge into North America. When the land bridge went underwater at the end of the ice age they were forced to stay in America. (Brain Pop Notes and S.S. book)

Who were the first Americans?
The first Americans came from Asia. They crossed a land bridge connecting Asia and North America in search of food then when the bridge diapered at the end of the ice age they could not get back across so they set up ci

1. Why did early Americans migrate to North American? The early Americans migrated to North America in search of food. The nomadic Americans moved where the food moved. So, the nomads had migrated since the food had wound up in  North America. Also, North America was basically uninhabited, so there was plenty of room for the cultures to flourish. They got to America over the land bridge, Beringia.

# data[].attributes.body
The early humans migrated to North America because of climate change and decrease of food in Asia. It is also a belief that they might have crossed over due to being chased. The possibilities are small, but there could of been conflict because of land or hunting rights. They might have also moved simply because they wanted to; humans are always looking for change.

The 1st Americans were the first people to arrive in America about 13,500 years ago. Scientists know this because of studies placed on skulls found in Baja California. These early people came from Southeast Asia and the southern Pacific area. They were named "Indians" by Columbus.

Why did early humans migrated to north America? One reason Native Americans came to America is because at the end of the ice age the mammals were dieing so they were in a constant search for food. this resulted in them crossing the land border in search for food and also territorial land. Next they came in curiosity because they saw new land and decided to venture into the new land which was the Americas. Archaeologists estimate that people entered North America by crossing over the Bering Strait, which back then was a wide swath of land, about 15,000 years ago.
Who were the first americans? Native Americans are believed to have descended from northeast Asia. landing over a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska some 12,000 years ago and then venturing across North and South America. Next  the first americans were from north asia wich shows that they were asian coming over to america. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/09/0903_030903_bajaskull.html

1.  Why did the early humans migrate to America? The early Americans came to the Americas for many reasons. Firstly, they came in search of food. Since they hunted so many animals the animals began to disappear. Also, some were nomads just traveling place to place searching for food (Wikipedia).

2. Who were the first Americans? I believe that the first Americans were the native American's. Firstly, there is little evidence that there were people living a civilized life before native Americans. There could have been more peoples but there is little evidence (Discovery Kids, The Kennewick Man).

One of the sources needs to be one you found on your own!

Why did early humans migrate to North America? Archaeologists believe  that early people came to North America across a land bridge about 15,000 years ago. People got over to the Americas by walking very far. Really what might have happened was that there might have been a climate change that caused them to move. What also could have happened was that they were being removed from their land. We really aren't sure what made them come across but that is why it is one of the mysteries of the world.(https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjNr63rmuXSAhWHx4MKHe7qDXgQFggkMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livescience.com%2F7640-humans-migrate-americas.html&usg=AFQjCNEe3SCugdHnxkAz-SGP6DBSzlgXfQ&sig2=lq5rpr9BtvVNb8ZSgtUFSA)
Who were the first Americans? I believe that Mongoloid people were the first humans in the Americas. I believe this because archaeologists recently found the skull of a Mongoloid person.  What they figured out changed our thoughts about the first Americans.

(http://www.livescience.com/7640-humans-migrate-americas.html1). Why did the early humans migrate to North America?
They traveled by boat and walked.  They migrated because of the climate change. This would effect the food supply.  Also, Anthropologists have assumed that the early humans migrated because they were following food on the hoof.  People also migrated because they may have been chased away.
2. Who were the first Americans?
The question is still debated on. Traditionally, the Native Americans  were there first americans. They had Siberian origins  and had genetic roots from
Australia.  Personally, i believe that the Native Americans were the first Americans because Christopher Columbus had no idea where he was anyway. (http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2015/0721/Where-did-the-first-Americans-come-from-New-clues-from-new-studies)

The sandy shore of the Chilean coast was 50 miles west of Monte Verde 14,000 calendar years ago. Early migrants are thought to have traveled to and from the ocean as well as inland for food prompting researchers to question how rapidly human migration in the Americas occurred.

The Americas were the last (well, second-to-last if you count Antarctica) continents to be inhabited by early humans. Archaeologists estimate that people entered North America by crossing over the Bering Strait, which back then was a wide swath of land, about 15,000 years ago.

In other words, people got here by walking a very long distance.

Our image of this major migration is fanciful. When I teach about the peopling of the Americas, I show a slide of people purposefully trekking in a straight line on a tundra from Siberia to Alaska, as if there was some destination on the other side and the only way to get there was to follow the leader, one behind the other.

But the truth is that human migration is much more complex, as suggested by genetic evidence presented recently by Ugo Perego and Alessandro Achilli of the Università di Pavia, Italy. Using mitochondrial DNA, they found two rare haplotypes (gene groupings) in modern Native Americans that point to two simultaneous ancestral migrations into this part of the world. One group took the fast track down the Pacific Coast to Tierra del Fuego (they may have used boats for part of the journey) and the other came across the Strait, maybe even with the coastal folks, and then took a sharp left turn past the ice sheet and spread out over inland North America.

But what compels people to walk that fast and that far into the unknown?

The most obvious reason is that one has to pack up and go because things are not so good at home. Long ago, that probably meant that the climate had changed and made life impossible. It might have become too hot or too cold or too wet, which in turn would have affected not only quality of life but also make survival a shaky proposition. Drought, flood, and temperature changes could certainly push people to move on.

Climate change also affects the food supply, and anthropologists have assumed that people came to the Americas because they were following food on the hoof. Humans are famous for wiping out big game as they go, so these early travelers might have been walking behind herds and not realizing they were covering new ground as they ate their way into the New World.

People also migrate when they are being chased. Back then, there weren't enough people to cause civil unrest, tribal warfare, or religious persecution, but there could have been conflicts over land use or hunting rights.

Or maybe, they came because they could. Humans seem to have a universal penchant for moving around, and not always under duress. These days, people sometimes move to have a new life in a new land, or just for fun. Sometimes they want a new view, an adventure, or they want to reinvent themselves.

Maybe the two major groups of people coming to the New World were looking for a new life and they found it beaching it to Tierra del Fuego or chasing the herds across the plains of Canada.

1. Why did early humans migrate to North America. The first reason why I think that the people came over is because they wanted to be the first people over here because it was the last content not inhabited. Secondly, things might have been not so good at their place so they came here. This could have been because they might have thought that the climate was impossible to live in. That is why I think that humans migrated to north america. http://www.livescience.com/7640-humans-migrate-americas.html
2. Who were the first americans? I think the first Americans were the Indians because there were about 75 million indians here when columbus arrived. I also think that the first americans were the Indians because columbus named them the "Indians". Secondly, I think that the Indians were the first because they almost made the animal population go extinct. That is who I think the first americans are. (All from "How much do we know about native americans")
