Is this new? I thought this was already known?

America was connected with Asia via Alaska.

It's not a new theory but I think there was still some debate about whether or not it was multiple waves of exodus from out of Africa or centrally basically one group. 

Looks like basically it was one group. I guess they hit the equivalent of the genetic lottery because their genes have spread and spread while everyone's elses either got stuck in Africa or died out. 

Guess you can walk a lot when you don't have TV, or internet, or anything to do and just need food, lol. 

You don't need to walk a lot with that kind of time frame. 3 meters a day gets you around the earth in 40k years.
It makes sense it all came from one succusful group driving the Neanderthals into extinction.
