Summary of Teorías del poblamiento de América

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The three theories on how humans arrived in America are the mono-genetic theory, the origin-ist theory, and the autochthonous theory. The mono-genetic theory is that there was only one entry point, from Asia, and that the pre-fix "mono" is because of the narrow Strait of Bering, which was used for crossing from Asia to Alaska during the last glacial period. The origin-ist theory is that humans arrived from Australia, Polynesia, and Milan, via a series of small boats during the last glacial period. The last theory, auto-acta mixed, is that humans were originally native to America and that, starting from there, migrated to other continents. All of these theories caused great controversy within the scientific community.

• 00:00:00 There are currently three theories on how humans arrived in America: the mono-genetic theory, the origin-ist theory, and the autochthonous theory. The mono-genetic theory, proposed by Alex Africa, is that there was only one entry point, from Asia, and that the pre-fix "mono" is because of the narrow Strait of Bering, which was used for crossing from Asia to Alaska during the last glacial period. The origin-ist theory, proposed by Paul Rivet and Mendes Correa, combines the two other theories and adds the possibility that humans also arrived from Australia, Polynesia, and Milan, via a series of small boats during the last glacial period. However, this theory was quickly disproved and rejected, but it was able to demonstrate that Latin America is ready for great scientific investigations in the area. The last theory, auto-acta mixed, was developed by Florentino Ameghino and is based on fossil evidence collected by the same person in the areas of Patagonia and Pampers. This theory argues that humans were originally native to America and that, starting from there, migrated to other continents. This caused great controversy within the scientific community, but it eventually proved
