There was a show on the History Channel the other day which has another theory entirely. This idea is that the Clovis culture's technology was not derived from the technology of Eastern Siberia, since points in that area were made by putting bits of sharp stone on the sides of sticks of wood or ivory. The carefully flaked Clovis points is much more similar to tools of the Cro-Magnons, and Cro-Magnon art suggests that they had boats to hunt seals. So this is a theory the the first Americans crossed the Atlantic, going from ice floe to ice floe. They then suggest that the climate change of the Younger-Dryad era gave rise to tremendous dust storms of Loess, destroying the Mega Fauna and crippling the Clovis people. This was followed by the Asian migration into Alaska, which obliterated or replaced the Clovis people.

I thought we got here after the human race was destroyed by the Cylons and the 45,000 remaining left to find Earth.
