2. Agree. I was always skeptical of the

Clovis theory that said people crossed over the Beringian land bridge around 10,000 years ago and stayed there until an ice free corridor made it possible to move southward into the interior of North America.

But, part of the reason that archaeologists and anthropologists clung to the Clovis theory for so long is that it was the first scientific explanation that had any plausibility to counteract the unscientific ideas of Atlantis or of the Lost Tribes of Israel as the origin of Native Americans.

Now the Clovis theory is pretty well abandoned due to older dates.
