The old story about a recent migration from asia seems to be battered and rejected these days.
"
An unidentified Homo species used stone tools to crack apart mastodon bones, teeth and tusks approximately 130,700 years ago at a site near what’s now San Diego. This unsettling claim upending the scientific debate over the settling of the Americas comes from a team led by archaeologist Steven Holen of the Center for American Paleolithic Research in Hot Springs, South Dakota, and paleontologist Thomas Deméré of the San Diego Natural History Museum. If true, it means the Cerutti Mastodon site contains the oldest known evidence, by more than 100,000 years, of human or humanlike colonists in the New World, the researchers report online April 26 in Nature.
Around 130,000 years ago, the researchers say, a relatively warm and wet climate would have submerged any land connection between northeastern Asia and what’s now Alaska. So ancient colonizers of North America must have reached the continent in canoes or other vessels and traveled down the Pacific coast, they propose."
First settlers reached Americas 130,000 years ago, study claims
The ark of Noah showed man moved by boat from the start of modern life on earth. Having people get here by boat fits the bible.
Give science enough time and rope and they hang their old theories.
By the way, I do not believe the dates given, as they are, of course totally belief based. What the dates seem to show is that the earliest men that they know about (whatever dates don't really matter) got here by boat, probably.
