4. Unreliable summary

I am not finding "The American Journal of American Anthropology" mentioned in the second sentence. However, there is an "American Journal of Biological Anthropology" that features an article by Johanna Nichols, who is mentioned in paragraph two. So this summary is sloppy and I would not rely on it. I found Nichols' article, cited below, but it is very specialized. There is no news about having to traverse Siberia in order to cross a land bridge to reach North America. The debate Nichols addresses seems to be how many waves of migration occurred based upon linguistic evidence. I will attempt to copy the abstract and post it separately but I am technically challenged.
