One of the points was that the ice would allow hunting of sea life that is also making use of the ice, seals and such, to provide food. I don't think this is considered a mass migration. The show talked about a possibility of a single, mixed gender, hunting party that crossed and made a new home across the pond. The land bridge would definitely be the route for a mass migration. But that doesn't mean it was the *only* path humans used to get to the new world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
