@Nazani Yes, but I can't find them now.
@Nonog I would guesstimate something like 50 generations. People would move rapidly through areas with few resources, stay put for a while where food & water were plentiful.
@Nonog Are there any scientifically calculated opinions on how long it would have taken small bands of people to move from Alaska to NM?
