Pre Clovis story for file
I grew up on a farm in lower Ohio. We had several creeks on the property, most with layers of smooth rock for the beds. In those beds, in the different layers, were vast amounts of footprints. Everything from tractor-looking dinosaur tracks to every imaginable animal to human footprints, clearly delineated. I spent many a day walking in those footprints, wondering where those long gone peoples were traveling to or from. Not only that, there were dog and horse tracks right along side the human prints. I didn't find out til much later that there weren't any horses in the new world when people were there. Being a farm kid, I knew and could identify most tracks. Guess the scientists were much smarter than a dumb farm kid! :) I figured out-all by myself-that rock either formed much faster than I'd been told, or the scientist-who-knew-everything didn't know as much as they thought!

Hopis say they came by boat but others came from the Bering Land bridge.
Anthropology has, since the 1970s, been taken-over by the Left, which has basically screwed the science all up. Ten years after I received my BA in Anthropology, my school's Anthro Dept. was captured by radical feminists who officially renamed it The Department of Feminist Anthroplogy, hired mentally disturbed, man-hating idealogues, and ruined the department for the next 20 years. In the past ten years there have been attempts to salvage the department and the discipline with mixed results. Anthropology, like its sister Sociology, has lost almost 40 years in the lunatic left wilderness.

At first, many scientists attacked the validity of the evidence and clung to the theory that the Clovis people arrived first, Collins said. Over time, they began to accept the site and the tide of opinion turned, he said.
Conventional wisdom and consensus are the enemies of science everywhere, as it always has been. History is riddled with examples of situations where science was stalled because of entrenched consensus in wrong theories. For example, when Lord Kelvin estimateed the age of the earth he was way off, but to attempt to second guess him was tantamount to scientific heresy. Scientists can be surpisingly closed minded and unwilling to examine evidence which is counter to their expectiations.

In this article, for example, it is assumed that if some folks came here on boats, that that would invalidate the Bering land bridge idea. In my opinion, the discussion should be about how much of the continent was populated by people from one source versus another, and how far they migrated, and how much they mixed with each other.
Another is the whole Neanderthal/homo-sapien inter-breeding thing. If they were co-inhabitants of the same area at the same time and physically capable of inter-breeding, then they did. The question is how much and to what degree that is represented in the current population.
Maybe it is just the press being ignorant or uneducated. /rant
I never bought into the Bering Strait Theory. Why would humans want to venture in a cold area. Also, it is too simplistic. Most Indians have legends saying they are either from the south or sea.
