An icy barrier up to 300 stories high — taller than any building on Earth — may have prevented the first people from entering the New World over the land bridge that once connected Asia with the Americas, a new study has found.
These findings suggest that the first people in the Americas instead arrived via boats along the Pacific coast, researchers said...
Based on stone tools dating back as much as 13,400 years, archaeologists had long suggested that people from the prehistoric culture known as the Clovis were the first to migrate from Asia to the Americas. Prior work regarding the age of the ice-free corridor suggested it might have served as the migration route for Clovis people.
However, scientists have recently unearthed a great deal of evidence of a pre-Clovis presence in North America. For example, in 2021, 60 ancient footprints in New Mexico suggested humans were there about 23,000 years ago, and in 2020, archaeologists discovered stone artifacts in central Mexico that were at least 26,500 years old...
To help solve this mystery, researchers sought to pinpoint when the ice-free corridor opened. They investigated 64 geological samples taken from six locations spanning 745 miles (1,200 kilometers) along the zone where the ice-free corridor was thought to have existed.

“Winter is coming”
Wouldn’t that be something for conditions to exist where they could be held accountable for the ruin they are causing.
Those are obviously not the ones who claim to have “always been here” then? Which was the concept you put forth and I was responding to. Did I misunderstand what you first stated? Because this is a whole different ball of wax here...
I'm not sure why you fail to understand things and blow things all out of proportion.
...where glacial ice was all you had.
I used to sport fish out of Valdez, Alaska. When we got into the Columbia Glacier ice fields we would grab some floating glacier ice for the cooler. It kept the beer and bait cold much longer than man-made ice!
I am simply replying back to you, you who approached us first, concerning what you stated. Did I read this wrong? Or did you actually mean something other than what it reads? If you actually meant something other than what you said then I stand corrected.
“Those who claim “they” have always been here, that their ancestors were made in the Americas, and didn’t come from anywhere else.”
My experience too. Light blue ice. Hard as a rock. Like you said. Floating around
My favorite was the chunks of clear ice. It was hard as a rock and would last at least 4 days in the cooler. I always figured that the clear ice was formed under the most pressure. The white or blue pieces never lasted as long.
I doubt the doomsday glacial melt junkies account for these factors.
I should have specified sea worthy water craft that could have carried food, tools, and other life necessities.
Re: Flores Island has 800,000 year old artifacts
The earliest known humans in Africa date from 200,000 years ago, so Flores Island must have a WAY bigger mystery than what happened to the missing boat.
Disagreements abound. :^)
Canoes are seaworthy, and the only thing they had to carry was the occupants with their skills. It wasn’t a pleasure trip.
Earliest known humans at 200K ago is and always has been British-born out-of-Africa nonsense.
Also, a Bering Strait explorer would need hunting and dressing tools, wood and fire tools, bedding, shelter from wind, rain, and carnivorous animals, a fresh water container, etc.
Finally, multiple studies have established a clear genetic link between northeast Asia and the earliest known tribes in North America.
