Role in Human Migration
Prehistoric human migration was greatly influenced by the last glacial period, known in North America as the Wisconsin glaciation. In the late Wisconsin era, a land bridge across the Bering Strait allowed the first humans to reach North America from Asia (an alternative theory is migration along the coast; see Settlement of the Americas). Human migration routes opened during interglacial periods in Europe and Asia as well.

Famous quotes containing the words role in, role and/or human:
“My role in society, or any artist or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“I can’t make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
