It shouldn’t be a mystery were these people came from - the melting glaciers drowned 10,000,000 square miles of prime coastal and river front as well as vast inland areas. But most mainstream science types do not count this major event because it would rock too many boats and raise too many awkward questions, not to mention the loss of professional reputations.
So it will remain a mystery that Nat Geo and Disco channels can make ad revenue from while hiding the obvious in plain sight. Move along everything happens slowly, there are never any catastrophic events - except in the very distant past which we do our best to obscure.

I don’t know if it’s so much about career protectionism as it might be about what I think of as “steady state-ism”. It’s a natural proclivity to work with how the world geography is currently and forget about how it was during the event under question.
It tends to show up in such things as discussing migration paths into the “new world”. It is known that the sea levels were considerably lower at the time of the events in question, yet most of the theories and hypothesis are developed exclusively from dry dirt archeology.
Another issue is that what we, the gen pop, get told is filtered through idiot media. A media that we know full well only ever gets something correct on accident.
