Director defends documentary that claims Europeans could have been 1st humans in North America


The director of a documentary set to air on CBC's The Nature of Things is defending her work amid widespread criticism from scientists and Indigenous people.

Ice Bridge explores the Solutrean hypothesis — the idea that people from Europe may have been the earliest settlers of the Americas. Narrated by David Suzuki, it's set to air on CBC on Sunday.

They could have been and its not that controversial.

During the last ice age the sea levels were lower and the distances between dry land (Europe, Iceland, Greenland, North America) were shorter. Seafaring people tend to stay near the sea and the places they would have likely lived are now submerged.
