The traditional view is that the first settlers walked across the Bering Strait, from Russia to Alaska, at the end of the last ice age around 11,500 to 11,000 years ago.

I've long thought that our view of when humans came to the America's first seemed overly simplistic. But that seems to be changing as the evidence for human habitation of the America's pushes the date further and further back.
****A plastic replica of a 40,000-year-old, size eight foot ... made ... from tracks left on the shore of an ancient volcanic lake in central Mexico.****Yep, and he was on his way to the future USA to do the work some lazy Cro-Magnon refused to do.
I say it's all

Hmm.... My pastor says that God created Adam only 5,000 years ago.
Where would we without glow-bull warning? We'd have nothing to protect U.S. fropm the raving Mongol hordes and they's just walk across the bridge. Thank goodness for forty thousand years of global warming.
Crossing the Rio Grande, no doubt, using instructions found on a stone pamphlet.
roflmao!!!
hose with a size 8 foot didn't come over the Bering Strait!?!?
How do you date a footprint? I understand carbon deating a bone or a tool(although I doubt its accuracy), but how can you rule out the print wasnt made by a kid swimming last weekend?
It's called "SWAG"!
Your pastor forgot to add in the couple of mil it took to get the import-export permit.
Seek a new pastor. One that is better tuned with time.
This hasen't been widely reported here because it doesn't fit the politically correct view.
Illegal Alien?
I've got $5 says our indigenous aboriginies [Native Americans]:[a] Go to Court to claim the footprint for native burial, [b] Claim the footprint as Native American, NOT Samoan, or anybody else, and [c] Try to erect a memorial Casino on the spot it was found.
This footprint was in volcanic ash that has since hardened into stone. Ash is easy to date; It can be done stratigraphically, with Potassium-Argon dating, electron-spin resonance techniques, etc.
