BISON 2 Meaning Clusters Ancestors of the American bison probably originated in southern Asia during the Pliocene epoch, 400,000 years ago. The ancient bison was much larger than the present-day animal and ranged throughout the northern hemisphere. Paleontologists learned that during its long history, the bison went through many changes. At one point in its evolution, a prehistoric bison, Bison latifrons, had horns measuring nine feet from tip to tip. A more modern bison, Bison occidentalis, evolved in the late Pleistocene and was the immediate ancestor of our present-day bison. Bison initially came to America across a land bridge that once connected Asia and North America. Bison moved south and east, ranging from Mexico to southern New England. The greatest concentration of these animals, was found in the prairies and plains where the number of bison has been estimated at between 40 and 60 million.
