Nature Aided
In Settlement
Of America
Earliest Migrants Drove
Towards Coast or Followed
Inferior Valleys

Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, d. c.-WNU Service.
Like most major discoveries,
the finding of America by its
first settlers took place in easy
stages. Shortly after the re-
treat of the last great ice sheet,
some venturesome Asiatic wan
derer, a prehistoric Columbus
of name unknown, crossed
the narrow strip of sea be-
tween East Cape, Siberia, and
Alaska.
The crossing at that time
could have been made on the
ice, but it might also have been
accomplished in skin boats or
canoes, a feat not infrequently
performed by Eskimos of to-
day.
The Americas were not populated
by descendants of these first discov-
erers. It is likely that through
many centuries Asiatic people, re-
spending to population pressure
from the south and west, found this
natural route into the American con-
tinent, just as successive streams of
European immigration later pene-
trated inland from the Atlantic sea-
board.
Archaeological evidence indicates
that most of these migrants did not
linger long in the far north but
pushed southwark along the coasts
in their canoes, or followed the in
terror valleys.
So completely did they establish
themselves that, when the Euro
peans arrived, the two continents,
and practically all of the adjacent
islands as well, were occupied from
the Arctic coast to the extremity of
Terra del Fuego.
Nature Aids Indians.
From the fur-clad Eskimo of the
frozen Arctic coast, living in his in
genious snow house, to the naked
savage of the steaming tropical jun
gle of the Amazon basin, with his
equally suitable palm thatched
home, the descendants of these first
American immigrants demonstrated
their adaptability in countless ways.
Thus the wandering bands of
primitive Shoshoni, living in the
