I think a lot of anthropologists assume humans spread rapidly throughout North America by following a combination of pre-historic migrating animal herds and rivers. However, since humans were present as far south as Patagonia by 10,000BC at the very latest (some evidence suggests it might have even been by 12,000BC) , it makes sense that they were probably in North and Central America much earlier than we've thought.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
