Ice Age?
Good point. I always thought they came over during it...but, that makes no sense. They would have came right before it or after it. I'll need to check look into that closer.
What is odd though is that there is no Australian genetic marker in bones found North of Mexico. That seems to be unique only to those found in South America.
Edit: I guess I was right...sort of.
It is believed that a small human population of at most a few thousand arrived in Beringia from eastern Siberia during the Last Glacial Maximum before expanding into the settlement of the Americas sometime after 16,500 years ago during the Late Glacial Maximum as the American glaciers blocking the way southward melted,[5][6][7][8][9] but before the bridge was covered by the sea about 11,000 years Before Present.
