Approximately when did the first people arrive at North American Continent?

Archaeological evidence suggests that the first people arrived in the North American continent at the end of the last glacial period, around 15,000 to 16,000 years ago. These early settlers are believed to have crossed a land bridge that once connected Siberia and Alaska during periods of low sea levels. This migration, often referred to as the Beringia migration, allowed humans and animals to move between the two continents. The earliest known evidence of human presence in North America is associated with sites such as the Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Pennsylvania and the Monte Verde site in Chile.
