Which of the following about the peopling of the Americas is FALSE? Group of answer choices Researchers calculate that it would have taken from 600 to 1,000 years for the first Americans and their descendants to travel by land from the southern part of the Canadian ice-free corridor to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America-a distance of more than 8,680 miles. The first migration of people into the Americas reached the continent's southwestern coasts from the Pacific islands. Analysis of DNA suggests the Americas were settled by more than one haplogroup-a lineage marked by one or more specific genetic mutations. The first migration (s) of people into the Americas may date back 18,000 years. The Clovis people were not the first settlers of the Americas.
