According to the anthropologist John M. Erlandson of the University of Oregon and colleague Torben C. Rick of the Southern Methodist University of Dallas , at the end of the last ice age the sea level along California was seventy meters lower than today , enough to allow navigation.
Since the Channel Islands more than ten kilometers from the coast, the ancient Americans necessarily had to have boats capable of plowing those troubled waters.
That these ancestors came from distant lands is also believed by the anthropologist Todd Braje of Humboldt State University of the California , assuming that the spearheads found in the Channel Islands they are incredibly similar to artifacts found in Japan (in a site dating back to 17,000 BC) and on the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka (along the banks of a river, dating back to 15,000 BC).
