II has long been u disputed question
whether America was pcopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach to
this continent across Bcrlng Strait has
been the lack of resemblance In culture
between the aborigincs of this country
ana the known races of Asia. This
may bc accounted for. II Washington
scientist maintains. by the fact that
all the Asintic arts and customs would
IN the course of generations have been
frozen ont of any migratory peoples
In their getting around BcrIng Strait.
AS the tribes moved nOrthward they
would lose the characteristics of their
llfc one after another, notably agri-
culture ana domestic animals. until
finally. pressing near the Polar Circle,
their whole energies would be absorbed
IN finding food and keeping warm. With
his culture thus frozen out. according
to this theory, early man crossed Be-
ring Strait and as he moved southward
on this continent developed improved
ways of living. but after such n long
Interval Of time that the new customs
were entirely distinct from those of
Asia.
