Map showing extent of glacial ice at 12,000 and 11,000 years ago, examples of regional fluted-point forms, and inferred dispersal directions of fluted-point technological groups from a Clovis heartland north into the Ice-Free Corridor and Beringia, east to the northern Great Lakes and far Northeast, and back to the northwest along the southern edge of the Laurentide ice sheet. Clovis existed in the American Southeast, too, but points from this region were not included in the present analysis. Image credit: Heather L. Smith & Ted Goebel, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1800312115.

Some of the earliest books say all the North American Indians came from Canada. I guess we need some definition of “Native”.

Is this not a Captain Obvious moment here. I mean, geez, did we not already know that Native Americans migrated...a lot, and covering great distances at times?

we found that early settlers in the emerging ice-free corridor of interior western Canada were traveling north to Alaska, not south from AlaskaNorth to Alaska

Precontact indigenous people north of the Rio Grande were all stone age... No metal whatsoever. So how can they tell when they come upon a precontact site that they are looking at something that is thousands of years old, or maybe just 700 years old? They were essentially stuck in a time machine that didn’t move forward. For humans everywhere else on the planet, the stone age ended about 8 thousand years before advent of Christ. For native people in the northern part of North America, including much of the Pacific Coast, it didn’t end until Europeans arrived.
Regardless... I prefer the fluted spearhead.

“Liked to travel” is a stupid statement, whether said merely by the editors, and worse if said by the “scientists”.
No doubt the travel routes of early North American inhabitants, and how widespread certain same-type of artifacts are found IS a part of the forensic record they left.
It is a giant leap to attach emotions, and anything but some what those people saw as some attribute of necessity to “why” they trekked where they did.
To say they merely “liked to travel” the idiot scientists better wait until they have the “audio tape”.

"much more complex than previously believed"
Isn't everthing?
It would have been so much easier to unravel if they had backed up all their stuff to the cloud, like these good folks:

The fellow on the left is probably asking, "Is it legal?" But at least they've got the wim'n busy while the boys go huntin' and fishin'.

I’ve seen the Clovis point they dug up in Macon, Ga. It’s at the Ocmulgee site there.

Let’s ask the pre-Clovis how uncontrolled illegal immigration worked out for them.

I still think Clovis is an Eastern point type. When you consider the pre-Clovis artifacts from the Eastern U.S. and their similarity to Solutrean artifacts from France/Spain it's hard to ignore the European angle.
I once heard Dennis Stanford say that there are more Clovis sites on the shores of the Delaware Bay than anywhere else in the Country.
