There is archaeological evidence of post-landbridge travel across the Bering Strait.
Is it true that there is archaeological evidence of post-landbridge travel across the Bering Strait?
Yes. Genetic and archaeological studies demonstrate that human migrations across the Bering Strait region continued in waves well after the inundation of the Bering Land Bridge.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim asserts that there is archaeological and related evidence of post-landbridge travel across the Bering Strait. Several papers, notably those analyzing genetic and archaeological traces of later migrations like the Paleoeskimo and Neo-Eskimo expansions (e.g., Raghavan et al. 2014/2016 genomic findings and Flegontov et al., or Volodko et al. 2008/Fedorova et al. 2015), confirm that population movements across the region occurred during the Holocene, well after the land bridge was submerged. Therefore, the evidence supports the claim.
