The first people in the Americas may have arrived 22,000 years ago. Ice age glaciers had frozen vast amounts of water. This lowered sea levels enough to expose a land bridge between Asia and Alaska called Beringia.

10 Ancient hunters came across the land bridge from Asia to Alaska. These early people most likely hunted large animals. Over thousands of years, these people spread out across North and South America. Changes occurred when the Ice Age ended around 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. The sea once again covered the land bridge. People no longer came to the Americas across this bridge. The climate grew warmer. Large animals began to disappear and people switched to hunting smaller animals. They also began to fish and to gather nuts and berries. Many groups of people settled in North America. Other groups continued south into Terms and Names nomadic Moving one s home Olmec People who created a civilization along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, beginning around 1200 Maya People who created a civilization in Guatemala and the Yucatan Peninsula, about 250 to 900 Aztec People who built an empire in Mexico, beginning in the 1200s Inca People who built an empire along the west coast of South America.
