A land bridge is land exposed when the sea recedes, connecting one expanse of land to another. One of the most famous land bridges was the Bering Land Bridge, often known as Beringia, which connected Alaska to Siberia across what is now the Bering Strait.
The Bering Land Bridge was not terribly long. If it still existed today, you could drive it in your car in about an hour. It appeared during the Ice Age, when enormous sheets of ice covered much of Europe and America. The ice sheets contained huge amounts of water north of the equator, and because of this, the sea level dropped precipitously, perhaps as much as 400 feet, revealing landmasses such as the Bering Land Bridge.
At this time, the ecology of the Northern Hemisphere was that of the mammoth steppe. It was a dry, frigid land filled with grasses, sedges, and tundra vegetation. It supported many large grazing animals including reindeer, bison, and musk oxen, as well as the lions that fed upon them. It also contained large camels, giant short-faced bears, and woolly mammoths. Many of the animals of the mammoth steppe used the bridge to cross from east to west and back again. Eventually, their human hunters tracked them from Asia to North America.
Ethnologists and geologists generally believe that humans used the Bering Land Bridge to populate the Americas, which up until about 24,000 years ago had no sign of human life. Ethnologists use evidence such as shared religions, similar houses and tools, and unique methods of cleaning and preserving food to show the link between the people of coastal Siberia and the people of coastal Alaska.
There are those among the Native American population who dispute the land bridge theory. For one thing, it contradicts most native teachings on the origins of the people. For another, it seems to undermine the notion that they are truly “native” to the North American continent.
