I'd like to return you to Ice Age America for a moment to see the world as it was before the last earth crust displacement.
We're looking at what we now call the "West Coast" of North America, as it was 12,000 years ago when the crust was in a different position. The coast we see here could then be called the "South Coast". Let's imagine that we are on the Queen Charlotte Islands, the home of the Haida. From their perspective, what today is east was then north. For the Haida the Hudson Bay was to the north, Alaska and Beringia lay to the west and California lay to the east. The sun appeared to rise from California and set in Alaska. Under these conditions a movement from what we call the "Old World" of Siberia to the "New World" of America is simply a journey from west to east. And that makes it a lot easier for the people of America to arrive thousands of years before what archeologists are considering today. And they didn't need the ice-free corridor to bring them to America. This ice-free corridor simply mirrors the arc of the sun's former path: the area which received the most sunshine. Its existence is to be expected.   Next
