The scientific methods employed in the construction of origin theories of Canada's First Nations peoples are diverse and the results are inconclusive. Skeletal evidence of what is believed to be the first modern human, or homo sapien, was found in Africa and is dated to 40,000 years ago. Based upon this information, scientists place the origin of the human species outside of the Americas. This is contrary to the belief of First Nations peoples. According to their oral tradition, they originated in North America and did not migrate from somewhere else. Scientists from several different disciplines support theories of migration from Asia to the Americas, but they disagree over when, how or why the first humans came to the Americas.
