Thanks for posting this-it is always fun to see the theories of how the stupid humans had to travel on land after the ice melted because they couldn’t figure out how to build a raft to go by water to a new-maybe warmer-place. What part of “the global sea level was about 400 feet lower” are they missing? And why is it that there is DNA from people we now call Polynesian and African, found in even the oldest human remains found in the coastal areas of Chile, Argentina, etc? Or more Caucasian DNA in some the oldest remains of Paleo-Indians in Canada and the East/Southeastern states in the US, while those from Alaska, Northern Canada and the more western part of the US have Asian/Eurasian DNA?
All those people did not come from just one place, or in a short timespan, and they certainly didn’t all decide to rush across an ice free land bridge from what is now Siberia 14-15,000 years ago-that just doesn’t even make sense...
There was a perfectly good ocean to put rafts in that was really shallow near the coasts-just stay close in and go till you like what you see or you get blown ashore. Europe wasn’t that far from Canada with a low ocean-and Africa closer to S America than now. We’ve been here for a long, long while...
My cousin’s husband who was an archaeologist believed that people had been coming here by sea and land for at least 30-40,000 years, based on the things being found that showed this was the case-I’m glad to see real acceptance of his theories-it is too bad he is no longer here to see this-MS took him about 30 years ago...
