I know this has already been answered but if you wanna look into a more interesting case, Google how the Polynesian people reached Hawaii in the 3rd century. Land bridges are one things, being confident enough to go into the middle of the Pacific Ocean using nothing but a canoe and the stars is an entirely different beast.
