They mean populated with homo sapiens, really isnt any appropriate words to use, cant say populated because other homo species probably dwelled in North America just not homo sapiens.
Can't really call other homo species people because still a vast difference, similar to us calling apes people but much closer.
- flexie 9y agoHave any other human species been found in America?
- jcranmer 9y agoThere's some evidence of habitation from around 100kya in California, which probably isn't Homo sapiens.
- dorfsmay 9y agoAny indication of what they were (Homo ergaster? Homo erectus?)? Do we know if they had a propensity to eat kale and avocado :P ? If Homo erectus made it to east Asia(‡), and given that as far as we know it was possible to walk from Asia to America back then, it's not difficult to imagine that some of then did make it to the Americas, but raises the question of why they didn't survive.
