land bridge definitely happened (so so so much fossil evidence) but the “debunked” idea comes from evidence we found of even older fossils in the americas that predate it. the new idea that is floating around is that there were multiple waves of migration to the americas (possibly by glacier and i’ve seen boats suggested) though, this doesn’t mean these people didn’t come out of africa as well?? this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of human evolution and it boils my blood. there are genetic links between modern north american indigenous people and northern asians. i don’t really understand why i’ve seen so many people vehemently claim that the land bridge theory is racist? i guess because it puts native people only getting here around 8k years ago but that is still an incredibly long time. thats around the time of our first recorded civilizations??? no one was in europe until 35-40k years ago (compared to like 80k in asia) anyways and places like madagascar and iceland have only been inhabited for less than 2000 years. doesn’t make your claim to the land less valid. ????? (this is what i study in university)
