Humans in Yukon 25,000 years ago, researchers find Researchers from the Canadian Museums of Nature
and Civilization say that humans probably crossed the Bering Strait
to the northern Yukon at least 25,000 years ago. This is twice as
long ago as was previously believed. Scientists came to this
conclusion after carbon-dating showed that bones which were found
in caves in the north-western Yukon ranged in age from 10,000 to
25,000 years old. 22 APRIL 1999
