My bad. Talking off the top of my head. I was referring to the Land 
Bridge theory which suggested that the Americas became populated via the 
land bridge 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.  Which is now discounted due to 
12000 year old archaelogical digs in Southern Chile, among others.  
There is evidence that there was a land-bridge or bridges.

Some people may have come across a land bridge at that time, but it 
looks like plenty were already here, having arrived either on previous 
land-bridges, ice-bridges or by other means.  AFAIK there is no proof 
that a single person crossed from Asia on a land-bridge at the time of 
the last ice-age.

There are tons of documents on-line related to the controversy.
