Why is there 13,000 year old bones on the Channel Islands, West of the West ( Part 1)

Arlington Man - In 1959, while looking for pygmy mammoth bones on Santa Rosa Island, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History archeologist Phil Orr discovered a human femur sticking out of the canyon wall at Arlington Springs. He knew it was old, but scientific dating technology couldn’t tell him how old. Yet. So he put the bones away in the basement of the SBMNH where they were rediscovered by Don Morris and John Johnson in the 1990s. These two archeologists take us back to Arlington Springs while explaining how modern carbon dating confirmed the bones were over 13,000 years old… the oldest ever found in North America. And how this discovery completely altered the accepted theory of human migration on our continent.

I'm not sure if they can be considered first natives if they found a femur bone on Santa Rosa Island dated 10k years old. I just started studying this today so......

Not a question of could they swim to
the island. But why would they swim

@1:55, "the time when Native Americans reached the channel islands"
Then they weren't native to the islands,
Now were they ?

Not one that came to the Americas was native to the area. This why they get any remains found showing genetic differences seized, buried and encase in tons of concrete. Decades later our government says the original DNA test seized by the government and destroyed was suddenly wrong then they suddenly find a new sample that is under 100 tons of concrete and say it is native.
