    Ice Age hunters were the first people to migrate to North America.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Ice Age hunters were the first people to migrate to North America. This statement is true because archaeological evidence suggests that humans first migrated to North America during the last Ice Age, approximately 15,000 years ago. These early hunters, known as Paleo-Indians, crossed a land bridge called Beringia that connected Asia and North America. They were likely following herds of large game animals, such as mammoths and bison, as a food source. The presence of Clovis points, distinctive stone tools used by these hunters, further supports the theory that Ice Age hunters were the first to migrate to North America.

The greatest legacy of the French and Spanish explorers is generally considered to be their contributions to geographical knowledge, trade routes, cultural exchange, and colonization. While they may have left some political institutions behind in certain regions, it is not accurate to claim that this is their greatest legacy overall.
