Answer 1

The current theory is that they came across the Bering straight when the sea level was lower (due to the ice age) about 13,000 years ago. So from Siberia.

There is still plenty of debate – as there have been discoveries which suggest an earlier origin, but have not been well investigated and confirmed to be correct.
