Answer: Because over the years many people have migrated to America.

Explanation: For the past century, archaeologists have generally agreed that humans arrived in the Americas 12,000 - 15,000 years ago but now this turns out to be quite erroneous. Instead, new excavations show that humans arrived in the Americas more than 30,000 years ago which is why the certain number cannot be confirmed.
