Guess I’m not understanding the importance of this. Are they unsure of how the sockeye got there or what?

We catch salmon here in Michigan that aren’t traditionally landlocked species.

The salmon in Michigan were stocked there by people in recent times. The landlocked sockeyes (called kokanee) in the Pacific NW weren’t.

That in the last ice age, the glaciers receded sooner than has been thought in some areas. That people habituated those areas sooner than has been thought. Or so it seems from this finding.

The author concentrated on the salmon but the other stuff caught my eye. And the picture. I like the picture.

I thought the salmon in the lakes were planted to eat eels. Tahoe has salmon - it is landlocked also. They were planted.
