PinGGG, Papasan White Eyes!..............
I thought the land bridge was “settled science.”
Science is never ‘settled’.........
Interesting theory, but there’s a whole lot of speculation padding it as well. I’ll reserve judgment until they find some ancient sake bottles or something.
” a whole lot of speculation padding it as well”
No kidding. Just using similarity of arrow heads seems like a huge stretch. There are only a few ways to chip a stone arrow head and it was probably conceived all over the world. And, how slow was the journey from NE Asia to North America? 10 years? 100 years? 1,000 years? A lot would be forgotten in the longer time periods, new ideas conceived. I would think it would be very hard to connect something as simple as arrow heads over 100 or 1,000 years.
I’m not even an amateur. I know nothing about such anthropology. But this seems like a big stretch.
So they came from someplace?..gee I thought they just sprang up out of the ground,you know, indigenous....how dare anyone else show up.
/s/
I’ve often thought the rising sea level after the ice age would have flooded many sites. Also as remote as the region is there are probably archeological sites that simply haven’t been found.
Indeed. A 400 foot sea level rise buried LOTS of seaside villages. But it happened so gradually that the people kept moving inland
Droughts n the US periodically dry up manmade reservoirs revealing villages and towns. At one location, an old steam locomotive was revealed!
On a competing thread ... they came via the land bridge:

I heard a Chumash Indian say that their Creation story shows them as being created in California. He was quite emphatic that they didn’t come from somewhere else but are the original inhabitants of this land. He said they didn’t sell the land or sign a treaty; the land was stolen from them.
Kon Tiki....
Are you a climate denier?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
If the land bridge had not been there they probably would not have come by boat either.
How about the Jomon people that are mostly in Hokkaido and in Okinawa?
Their genetics show them to be a very old people, comparable to the Basques and Siberians.
The one below makes more sense to me...

This makes sense
People would take “modern tech” (arrow heads at that time) with them as they travelled. The tech of arrow heads never matched the “settled science” of the land bridge.
This was a counter theory 40+ years ago. See it’s getting some traction
