There is definite evidence of hominins in North America 130,000 years ago (search "Cerutti mastodon"). Nobody knows if they were H. erectus, Neanderthal, Denisovan, modern humans, or "other", but with an interglacial at 125,000 years ago, it is not hard to see how they could have got here. |

This article is much more sympathetic (and also a fun read):

I’m no expert but it seems like this is still a controversial idea.
