Why not from the Pacific islands?

Many of the islands were first settled in comparatively recent times.

Think about it: early island hopping was like trying to find a needle in a very large haystack.

Thor Heyerdahl thought settlement went the other way -- from Peru to Easter Island.

There has been evidence of humans in South America very early, when scientists might have expected that they'd still be making their way down from Alaska, but just how they got there is still a mystery.
