"Our data shows that the Pacific had a warm current system during the last ice age, similar to the modern Atlantic Ocean currents that help to support a mild climate in Northern Europe..." The warming from these ocean currents created conditions more favorable for early human habitation, helping address a long-standing mystery about the earliest inhabitants of North America.

Is this the same science that has said for many decades those same first migrants to North America came via an “ice bridge”?
See why climate change was so bad!
Damned Eskimo’s and their SUV’s
Human Migration From Asia to North America? WHAT!? Migrated?! Butt, butt, butt indigenous people and wild horses since the dawn of time. Oh Noes!!!! And just who caused the oceans to warm anyway?
Those pesky indigenous immigrants and their illegal campfires in non-designated areas.
Aleutian Islands.
Humans were in the Americas over 280,000 years ago - Ice Agers were johnny-come-latelies
Sea level was more than 100 meters lower because of all the glaciers.
Geographers have actually mapped out large sections of the Russia-Alaska region that were ice free during the last glacial maximum about 20,000 years ago.
No one really had a good explanation for how that happened.
This, apparently, is the first hard evidence that the Land Bridge was warmed by ocean currents.
The first travelers across the land bridge were basically trapped in that area for hundreds or maybe even several thousand years because of the ice.
There is some evidence that some migrants may have worked their way south down the coast of Canada in boats or canoes, but I do not think anyone has ever found actual remains of a water craft from that period of time, about 15,000 years ago.
Good post. However, this article refers to coastal areas, not the inland ice-free regions, which were mostly polar desert, so wouldn’t support much life. There was a large tundra region within it though that could have.
Archaeological evidence has been found inland above the ice that cut off the habitable coastal areas: https://unews.utah.edu/ancient-babies-boost-bering-land-bridge-layover/ but those remains are 12KBP; still, the DNA suggests much older ancestry.

Land bridge. See Beringa Connection.
The earliest finds of humans in NA have Caucasian DNA. Looks like the first wave of the Yellow Peril was devastating to the original inhabitants. I was reading that the tribes in Alaska stopped all DNA research on their lands when the truth was discovered. No surprise their. Pretending to be the original inhabitants is a main linchpin of the grift.
There is archaeological evidence that people lived on the central Alaska mainland for hundreds or possibly several thousand years until the ice barrier blocking passage to the inland glacial rift melted away.
As far as I know, passage down the coast to America did not start until a thousand years or more after the inland route opened up.
Injuns: Fred Flintstone’s car’s fault!
Aren’t the caucuses in Asia?
The original inhabitants of NA, whoever they were, predate the Out of Africa Theory by 150,000 years or more - perhaps twice that
The Clovis were of the Solutrean stone culture, but they were not the first by any means. A Denisovian-Neanderthal-Human hybrids came even earlier they likely also crossed following the ice from Europe. There were Australo-Melanesians who populated South America are documented to the 300,000 years ago.
This whole field is topsy-turvy with the introduction of hDNA , mDNA, and blood group tracing, not to mention the consensus meme is badly injured and crumbling.
The Treaty and Aboriginal Tribal claims all hinge on their meme that they were created here. Obviously false, but the cannot be challenged since they are specifically mentioned in the Constitution - their Rights are sacrosanct - big error on the Founders part (because that left the rest of us hanging on SCOTUS for privileges which too many believe are Rights, but are not).
If you mean the mountains, not quite.
The northern point of the Caucasus Mountains touch the Black Sea near Sochi (Russia), which is definitely considered Europe.
The southern point of the Caucasus Mountains touch the Caspian Sea just north of Iran, also known as Persia.
I think most Persians would be insulted if we called them Asians.
