Most of paleontologists agree that the only route was the current Bering Strait,
but there are some few scientists, such as Donald Lathrap, who argues that
there was some migration of humans from Africa, who would have sailed
around 10,000 years ago through the Atlantic towards America South,
specifically towards the coastal region of the Amazon Jungle.
A Bering Strait crossing is a bridge between
the Chukotka Peninsula in Russia and
the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state
of Alaska. The bridge or tunnel would provide
a connection linking North America and
South America and Asia.
How did they cross if there was water?
As a result of the glaciations, the height of
the Bering Sea changed several times, sometimes leaving a dry land route
between Asia and America, and at other times flooding it. The remaining land
bridge was not narrow, it was a tundra (i.e., a frozen steppe) more than 1,500
