Shared backgrounds and value systems make it easier to befriend people from our home countries. Yet,
because these elements can’t be taken 21 with people from other cultures, making friends with them can be
challenging. Learning to accept the differences that 22 is easier said than done. According to anthropologists
Kevin Avruch and Peter W. Black, people tend to view things they don’t understand 23 wrong or strange.
Compounding the problem are stereotypes, which are typically 24 the truth. For instance, one stereotype
about Americans is that they’re all outgoing, whereas many are actually quite 25 . So we should start by
recognizing the stereotypes that we have, after which we can take steps to overcome them.

Ten years ago, most experts would have agreed that the first people in the Americas arrived about 14,000
years ago by walking across a land bridge that crossed the Bering Strait—the boundary between Siberia and
Alaska. They then traveled south through an open area of ground between great sheets of ice that stretched
across North America at that time. Today, however, this theory is being challenged.
An alternative theory suggests that instead of a single first migration, various groups of people came to the
Americas at intervals spaced well apart in time. Another theory proposes that, rather than walking across a land
bridge, some came by boat. According to this theory, ancient people might have kayaked their way along the
shoreline just as adventurous tourists do today.
Looking at ancient tools found in America, archeologist Dennis Stanford noticed that their shape is
analogous to tools used by the Solutrean culture of southwestern Europe. He thinks it is conceivable that people
of that culture may have kayaked across the Atlantic from Europe to America perhaps 20,000 years ago or
earlier.
The science of archeology often produces theories that are based on very small bits of evidence. Today’s
archeologists know that being stubborn and holding on to one theory while shutting out the others isn’t good
science. They know they need to be patient as more buried pieces of the puzzle are dug out of the ground. As
new evidence is discovered that disrupts existing theories, they adjust those theories to explain the new facts.
