There’s certain words where you can feel the current of douchiness flowing through you and out with the word as you say it and “corpus” I think is maybe one of them, especially when used in this context.

The entire complaint here has to do with overconfidence in these sorts of statements, all to prioritize a harmful narrative with a motte and bailey where you excuse a harmful reductive narrative, will only defend that some people at some time traversed Beringia on foot, which was never disputed.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
There’s no archaeological record to speak of! We can talk about what, logically, was likely to have happened, but there isn’t evidence and we’re not likely to ever find evidence one way or the other.

Well, now I’ve done it twice
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
On my first read, I mistook this as dates during which a land route from Beringia to the Americas was passable, rather than what was meant (when Beringia itself was still extant). I don’t have a problem with the dates after realizing my error.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
Why include it at all, then? It’s a complicated and controversial topic. Better not to comment than to breeze through in a way that seems to validate inaccurate conventional wisdom (there are public schools in the U.S. still teaching that nobody lived in the Americas prior to the ice-free corridor)
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, I think it’s clear that there was a large increase in inmigration when the ice-free corridor opened up, but also that some people had already moved south via maritime routes much earlier. This migration would be pretty historically significant but wouldn’t be *the* settlement of the Americas.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
DNA evidence does suggest a large in-migration during the time the ice-free corridor was open, but also corroborates the idea that there were other lineages already in the Americas at the time.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
I think the point of contention here is whether overland through the ice free corridor represents the first migration into the Americas beyond Beringia. It is pretty clear that it does not.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, Beringia was passable 30k years ago. But the land bridge hypothesis posits that nobody entered the rest of the Americas from Beringia until much closer to 10k years ago when it was possible to do so on foot (the “ice-free corridor”).
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
30000 years ago? Now I’m the one who’d like to see a source
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
There are numerous sites that are accepted as predating the “ice free corridor” by which overland entry to the rest of the Americas from Beringia was possible. At most, this route represents *a* migration into the Americas, not *the first* migration into the Americas.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
Even in its current state I’m pretty sure Google can help you with this
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
Did some people enter the continent by crossing the Bering land bridge? Maybe. Who knows? But it’s a little weird to insist on prioritizing that explanation as *the* major way the Americas were populated based on a purely circumstantial case.
Pool Rat (@dingokayfabe.bsky.social) reply parent
There’s firm archaeological evidence that people entered the Americans long before the period during which the Bering land bridge migration was posited. People like to point out there is only circumstantial evidence of migration by e.g., watercraft, but that is also true of Bering.
