I’m still trying to figure out the physical workings behind the Bering Land Bridge.

During an Ice Age, sea levels would drop because of all the water locked up in the enormous ice layer. But wouldn’t the Bering Strait, since it is so far north, be right in the worst possible spot and therefore deeply buried under the ice? So much for that theory, unless we assume the ice cap made a detour around the green and inviting Bering Strait region. Umm ....

But between Ice Ages, the sea level would be much higher, so the Bering Land Bridge would be deeply under water. Strike two.

Anybody know how this thing was actually supposed to work?

Yes, there was NO Bering Land Bridge 5.1 million years ago ~ or even before that. Just didn't happen. Maybe there were some big ole trees that fell in the ocean on the Asian side and some beavers hitched a ride to the other side.

Remember, beavers can swim!
