Answer 1

There were several ways to travel between Eurasia and the Americas. The simplest is a boat. Many humans travelled in many waves across the Pacific, but mostly from Siberia to Alaska because that distance is way the hell shorter than going from Japan to California. There was also a land bridge in that exact location during the last Ice Age, during which many travelled from Siberia to Alaska and later Canada and the north-eastern United States on foot.
