Perhaps as far back as 20,000 years or more. But the science on this is far from settled. So for now, the Clovis and the Pre-Clovis peoples, long disappeared but still existent in the genetic code of nearly all native Americans, deserve the credit for discovering America. But those people arrived on the western coast.Clovis First, as it was called, was the one and only accepted explanation of initial human arrival and subsequent expansion throughout North and South America. To be taken seriously, any artifact of human culture had to be dated after those found at Clovis.The timeline for the Age of Discovery presumably starts with the Vikings. Several timelines assume that Scandinavian Vikings discovered the continent during their maritime explorations of the late 10th century, which later resulted in the Norse colonisation of Greenland and of L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland.
Who first discovered America : Explorer Christopher Columbus
Explorer Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) is known for his 1492 'discovery' of the 'new world' of the Americas on board his ship Santa Maria.
Who found America first before Columbus
Meanwhile, on the eastern shores of the Americas, the most certain, best-documented evidence for European contact with America before Columbus is the Vikings. Icelandic sagas record that Lief Eriksson took a ship west from Greenland in the year 1001 and set up a settlement in an area they called Vinland.
Who first discovered America before Vikings : In that sense, America was probably discovered by hunters from Asia, who historians believe made their way to Alaska either on foot from Siberia via a land bridge across the Bering Strait during the last ice age or came by boat and continued southward along the coastline.
The first Europeans to arrive in North America — at least the first for whom there is solid evidence — were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985.
American Indians lived in America before the Europeans arrived.
Who found America before the Vikings
Just before the Vikings, the Inuit people travelled from Siberia to Alaska in skin boats. Hunting whales and seals, living in sod huts and igloos, they were well adapted to the cold Arctic Ocean, and skirted its shores all the way to Greenland.The Vikings of Norway
The Vikings of Norway are the first Europeans known to have visited North America. A Viking named Gunnbjörn Ulfsson sailed near Greenland in the 10th century ad. The Viking known as Erik the Red (because of his red hair and beard) was the first to colonize the island.A groundbreaking study conducted by archaeologists from the University of Iceland has uncovered evidence that Vikings arrived in the Americas 500 years before Christopher Columbus, who is often credited with the discovery of the continent in 1492.

Were Africans in America before Columbus : While we commend Christopher Columbus (or should we say, Cristobal Colon) for sailing the seas in search of new land on Europe's behalf, he was not the first to make that journey. In fact, widely untaught evidence exists that Africans sailed to the Americas and settled centuries before Columbus.

Did Vikings actually find America first
DID THE VIKINGS DISCOVER NORTH AMERICA Some experts believe the Vikings may have discovered North America nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus made his famous journey to the New World. L'Anse aux Meadows was the first Viking settlement believed to have been found in North America in the 1960s.

Were the Vikings in America first : Vikings came to North America nearly 500 years before Columbus, study of wood reveals. Viking sailors landed on the shores of North America nearly half a millennium before Christopher Columbus, new research reveals.
