Ancient 'land bridge' that connected Siberia to US wasn't what it seems, scientists find | Live Science


I was thinking about global warming and how soon a tiger could come on over so to speak.

Our oldest two know Sarah quite well, and have spent decades working with the government on core samples in Alaska. Not only to track weather related impacts, but human remains dating hundreds of years of the migration of tribes.

When past Governor Pailin said she could wave to Russia from her backyard she really meant it.

They must have island hopped? There does not seem to have been enough solid land, game, vegetation and shelter for them to have walked? They must have had boats of some kind .

It does freeze in winter.

Even as far south as Japan, you can walk from Russia to Hokkaido (the big north island) from January thru March.

I think I remember 80 miles. Quite a trek, but it was done. It is a rough walk also. The ocean makes very jagged ice.

When we were younger was told by our grandparents how they walked across.

Sarah Palin never said that, Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live said it during a skit as Sarah Palin.

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.

Our daughter in law and 3 other DRs, for tundra and glaciers was chopper air dropped along with an old truck camper and supplies. Event was 6-8 weeks.

The islands our son Id human remains it was with a Bush Pilot. As a courtesy he also kept tabs on the tourist fishermen. Especially those with no bush expertise to understand the fish next to them is an appetizer you are the main course.
He and his Bear tracker could spend a month with supplies dropped as needed. Biggest complaint wasn’t the Bear, but giant misquotes swarm so thick you would have thought it was flying object. Both he and his wife specialized in Forensic DNA, spent 8 years working for the government in Alaska.

Yes, it was on SNL first, however…..

In 2022 Palin reminded voters that “You can see Russia from My Home State” Alaska.

Many Ameicans don't believe that's possible. For a variety of reasons.

Big Diomede Island (Russia) and Little Diomede Island (USA) are only about 2.4 miles apart. You can walk across in winter when the ocean surface freezes.

To this date some Eskimid peoples (Inuit and Yupik, others) cross back & forth between Russia and Alaska, mostly by boat for family, cultural, hunting, business reasons. Bering Sea

Actually Palin said you can see Russia from the most western part of Alaska while Fey made the joke saying from her house.

I recall elementary class instruction when the Spanish introduced horses to the Western Hemisphere? I wonder if they migrated over but were killed off for their meat by early man? Then reintroduced? Or is science sometimes just plain wrong?

Global Warming will do the opposite. It will make the Oceans RISE as the Poles and glaziers melt.

Humans might have used boats, but they could have also walked as could (or not) have the woolly mammoths. Small animals could have crossed and birds also. That's the way I understood it.
