Resumen
[ES] Durante décadas ha prevalecido la hipótesis del poblamiento tardío del continente americano por Homo sapiens, segun la cual las primeras poblaciones habrían llegado al “Nuevo Mundo” hace 11.500 años, procedentes del noroeste de Asia, a través de Beringia, y atravesando el corredor libre de hielo formado entre los glaciares del centro de Norteamérica, asentandose en la región conocida como Clovis. En esta se descubren proyectiles "tipo Clovis”, comunes en muchos otros asentamientos posteriores, que permitieron dar caza a grandes presas como los mamuts. No obstante, descubrimientos posteriores de evidencias
arqueológicas datadas anteriormente abren una importante polémica sobre la teoría de la supuesta primigenia cultura Clovis. Algunos de estos asentamientos más antiguos corresponden a Sudamérica, por lo que investigadores e historiadores buscan nuevas pruebas y vías para dar una explicación coherente, procediendo a revisar en profundidad los conocimientos sobre las posibles rutas de migración que habrían seguido estas poblaciones.
