A pebble tool with a bifacially knapped and retouched edge. The stone, called serpentine, is not a local material but likely comes from the coastal cordillera west of Monte Verde. It was found at the older site, MVI, and was made 17,000-19,000 years ago. (Courtesy Tom Dillehay)

The only answer to this is boats. Humans reached Australia 50,000 years ago and even with 300 foot lower sea levels, Australia/New Guinea would have been over the horizon of the sea. The technology used to get there could easily have travelled up the coast of Sundaland, to the Philippines peninsula, the Taiwan/Japanese peninsula/coast, to Northeast Asia/Kamchatka, then Alaska and then down the West coast of the Americas.
Assuming a Sundaland launch point of slightly South of East Timor, then a boat being paddled only 5 miles North per generation would reach Alaska in just a couple of millennium. So that would put us at around 47,000 years ago. The earliest date at Monte Verde is 19,000 years ago. Plenty of time to paddle South!

I am soooo screwed. For more than fifty years I've been using this for my drafting and free hand drawings.
Matbe I'll just turn the bottle around so that just the German part of the label shows schwartz.

dude...that box from China is....YELLOW!
Plainly more imperialist RACISM!
I'm afraid you are going to have to find a new vocation. One that is remunerative enough to cover your sadly overdue REPARATIONS.

After storm flows recede, many stones show up in the two creeks that flow through our property that could easily be taken to be tools; far more so than the two examples posted.
Tools designed and manufactured by tumbling stones in a stream.

I will posit this to you in hope that other may comment. Why is there a goodly percentage of the so called native Americans in the North East that Have R1b DNA.
There are also a few that have I M253 the Viking gene. The answers I have seen is that it resulted from interbreeding I don't think so.

You are such a racist! You should have demanded the manufacturer change that name.
