About this ebook
Bering Strait Crossings explores the fascinating story of how early humans migrated from Asia to North America via the Bering Land Bridge, or Beringia.
Challenging simple narratives, the book highlights Beringia's complex environment, which influenced migration routes and the genetic makeup of early populations.
It discusses how fluctuating sea levels, driven by glacial cycles during the Late Pleistocene epoch, shaped the land bridge's formation and disappearance, impacting human movement.
The book uniquely integrates archaeological evidence, paleoenvironmental reconstructions, and genetic analysis to provide a holistic view.

The book examines archaeological sites in Asia and North America, revealing insights into early humans' material culture and survival strategies.
Genetic analysis traces the lineage of Native American populations to their Asian origins, identifying genetic markers associated with different migration waves.
Bering Strait Crossings progresses by establishing the geological context, examining archaeological evidence, analyzing genetic data, and reconstructing migration routes, culminating in an exploration of cultural adaptations across the Americas.
The book offers a fresh perspective by bridging archaeology, genetics, and earth sciences, appealing to scholars, students, and anyone interested in human origins and the peopling of the Americas.
