no but i put forward a possibility, and when i say man i mean the early know man or before that time.
yes sea levels were lower but were they seas or rivers.
According to Wikipedia, the Atlantic is approximately 130 million years old.
There were dinosaur until about 65 million years ago.
The first human ancestors to walk upright, were about 10 million years ago.
Homosapiens appeared about 170,000 years ago (thats about 0.2 million years ago)
Modern humans diverged about 50,000 years ago.
well if your certain man is a mere 50,000 years then i understand your view but man before man as we know him its to simple to say we went via asia yet got to america and crossed a larger ocean via some luck or good fortune.
The closest land mass to the American contents today is Asia.
If you look at a world map you will see that Alaska nearly touches Asia and in the winter, it is possible to get from one to the other via the ice of the north pole. It would have been even easier in the past when the ice extended further south.
But most importantly, as I have already pointed out, the genetic evidence shows that American natives are related to tribes in northern Asia.
