Second if there was not travel on a land bridge that brought peopel here what did?
No there is not “tons of evidence” that I am wrong. There is tons of evidence that THEY might be PARTIALLY right about their aspect and niche. But to insist that all the inhabitants of this continent crossed over one bridge in one place is ridiculous on its face.
Lenape, their name, means original people. They were here long before anyone stepped foot an that land bridge and for far longer than most people realize.
As I said before, North America has been put to the back of the pack as far as archaeologists are concerned when it SHOULD be in the forefront.
The New Madrid fault is evidence that this continent was once more than one land mass that were involved in such a massive collision they fused into one land mass. So much for your land bridge. But it definitely explains why the Northeasterm peoples developed a far different culture than those from the west which I believed long before this “amazing” discovery...

Jim Price discovers evidence of a prehistoric earthquake at the Towosaghy mound near New Madrid, Missouri.
As Jim Price recalls, at the time it was just another job: Excavate the odd bulge on the east side of the main mound at the Towosaghy site near New Madrid, Missouri, and record the staircase everyone expected him to find. The mound builders of the prehistoric Mississippian culture had put a temple atop the 16-foot-tall earthen structure; logically, they would have built stairs to reach it.
Starting outside the base of the mound, he dug step trenches into the slope. “Here’s what the bulge turned out to be,” he says. “About A.D. 1400, the occupants of the Towosaghy site burned their temple. They took all the debris and dumped it down the side of the mound. There was lots of burned clay—the daub from the wattle-and-daub structure—baked very hard in tremendous quantities.” Mingled with the charcoal and ashes, the University of Missouri archaeologist found ceremonial pottery, ornamental ear spools, and mushroom-shaped labrets designed to be worn in the lower lip.
That the Late Mississippian residents torched and then deliberately trashed their temple was startling enough. But what sent Price straight to the telephone were the sand-filled cracks in the trench. He needed to call a geologist to be sure, but Price immediately suspected the truly astonishing implications: that the violent and devastating earthquakes that rocked the New Madrid area for two years, starting in 1811, were not a singular event. It had happened before and could happen again.
The largest of the 1811 quakes are estimated to have reached 8 on the Richter scale—even stronger than the famous San Francisco quake of 1906. Their epicenter was at New Madrid near the Mississippi River, but there were reports of tremors as far away as Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Charleston. In Boston, the ground shook so hard that the church bells rang. The New Madrid earthquakes overshadow all other midcontinent quakes recorded before or since. Altogether, they surged through more than 5,000 square miles of land—from southern Illinois to northern Arkansas and from eastern Missouri to western Tennessee and Kentucky. Some of that land can’t bear crops to this day, in part because of the “sand blows” left by the eruptions, which covered nearly a thousand square miles and are still clearly visible.
Geologists familiar with the region used to ASSUME that the 1811-1812 New Madrid disaster was no cause for concern to current residents of Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Then in 1989, archaeologist Jim Price took a shovel to a temple mound near New Madrid. And that reassuring picture was abruptly shaken apart.

See. There is that word, “assume,” again. You know what they say about assume?
“Second if there was not travel on a land bridge that brought peopel here what did?”
Can you open your mind enough to believe that creation is not according to your timeframe or one version of it? Man rose as he was supposed to from creation onward. In its time and in its place. Not as WE decided it did, but as the Creator decided it did. And that to ASSUME that you know the Plan is the heighth of man’s arrogance.
