   Part 2: my friend said he'd heard of "geological evidence" of the ocean level

Certainly ocean levels have changed dramatically over human history.

The standard model of the human invasion of the new world often
invokes a land-bridge across what is now the Bering Sea.

Seems to me I remember reading of evidence that some of the Stonehenge
rocks may have been quarried somewhere around Northern France and
sledged across to their current location.  (Whether or not this
actually happened isn't the point, rather the archeologists in
question were working with a model that presupposed a dry path from
Paris to Salisbury.)

In any case, the bottom of the North Sea is covered with the stumps of
the trees that once grew there.
