Question

21 which evidence would most strongly support the theory that the americas were first populated by people migrating across a land bridge that connected northeast asia and north america? american indians’ lack of immunity to many diseases endemic to afro - eurasia architectural similarities between the pyramids of teotihuacan, mexico and giza, egypt data showing a close genetic link between american indians and indigenous people of siberia the discovery of pottery from ming china at a pre - columbian site in peru clear all

Explanation:

To support the theory of migration via a land bridge between Northeast Asia (Siberia is in Northeast Asia) and North America, genetic links between American Indians and Siberian indigenous people would show a shared ancestry from that migration. Lack of immunity to Afro - Eurasian diseases shows isolation but not migration origin. Architectural similarities between Teotihuacan and Giza pyramids are likely due to independent development or other cultural diffusion, not the land - bridge migration. Ming China pottery in Peru is related to later trade, not the initial migration.

Answer:

C. Data showing a close genetic link between American Indians and Indigenous people of Siberia
