A number of paleontologists believe some people traveled to North America from Siberia small boats made of saplings and skins. At the right time of year, this would have been quite possible if they stayed slope to shore. They weren’t necessarily searching for North A,Erica but just exploring and following food.
I read the article. Large sections of Siberia are much like what is described there. So are large parts of Alaska in the height of summer. Shrugs and trees, mosses, roots, berries. Bogs. Little lakes. Trillions of insects. Lots of little animals that eat insects. Lots of animals that eat the little animals. The animals may have been relatively easy to kill, as they’d never seen people. There were millions of birds to eat. The article said there was higher land back from the shore where larger animals could have walked.
This is also similar to some of the swampy land in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. It’s similar in the marshes and swamps of Maine. There were huge tracts of wetlands along many rivers in this country. Even the swamps south of 44 near the. Villages have lots of things to eat.
Also, this land bridge was passable for millennia, right? Plenty of time for animals and people to slowly wander east from Siberia, then south.
