Along the Pacific coastal route, travelers in skin boats are presumed to have hunted marine mammals and found shelter in shoreline refuges beyond the reach of the retreating glaciers…. Movements along the inland route - where big-game hunters originally from Siberia are believed to have migrated through a gap in the glaciers in present-day Northwest Territories and Alberta - led to the earliest mid-continental settlements in the New World, scientists believe [Canwest News Service].

Where’d they go? To register as Democrats, of course...

Personally I’d head south because that’s where the sun is (as seen from the northern hemisphere) and I’d want to be closer to it. Might be less ice thataway. Easier fishing. YMMV!

Seems that's what some did. Availability of food along the way may have varied over time to impede or facilitate their progress south. Not that I know what I'm talking about but that would make sense. ;-)

I'm still going with the belief people were here before these so-called migrations and either we haven't found the evidence or much of it has been destroyed by glaciers, comets, volcanic activity, etc...

Maybe not all of it.

Exactly my Wife’s premise. She bases it purely on women’s intuition and I, of course, tend to agree.
