A new study that reconstructs the history of sea levels shows that the Bering Land Bridge connecting Asia to North America did not emerge until around 35,700 years ago, allowing humans to arrive ...

Researchers reconstructed the sea level history of the Bering Land Bridge from 46,000 years ago and found that it didn't emerge until around 35,700 years ago, which is less than 10,000 years ...

During the last ice age, people journeyed across the ancient land bridge connecting Asia to North America. That land is now submerged underwater, but a newly created digital map reveals how the ...

These revelations about the Bering Land Bridge originated during a monthlong August-September 2023 cruise of the Sikuliaq. During that journey off Alaska’s western coast, ...

The Bering Land Bridge, also known as central part of Beringia, is thought to have been up to 600 miles wide. Based on evidence from sediment cores drilled into the now submerged landscape, ...

The theory that humans inhabited the Bering land bridge for some 10,000 years "helps explain how a Native American genome (genetic blueprint) became separate from its Asian ancestor," O'Rourke says.

Geologists suggest that between 36,000 and 11,000 years ago, the Bering Land Bridge may have been less an arid steppe grassland and more a boggy ecosystem crisscrossed by rivers.

The land bridge, now submerged under the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia, was above water from about 36,000 years ago to 11,000 years ago.

The Bering Land Bridge's boggy environs were revealed by a research cruise aboard the R/V Sikuliaq, an over 260-foot oceanographic vessel operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Based on records of estimated global temperature and sea level, scientists thought the Bering Land Bridge emerged around 70,000 years ago, long before the Last Glacial Maximum. But the new data show ...

In the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, in 2013, Tremayne and his team found stone tools from Siberia at an ASTt site dated to about 4,000 years ago.
