Where did the Native Americans originate from, do you think?

I've heard theories ranging from:

- Eurasians crossing a now sunken land bridge between Russia and Alaska

- Sailing from the Middle East

- ???

Multiple lines of evidence suggest most or all came across a Bering Strait land bridge during the last glacial maximum, around 20-15k years ago. A few theories suggest some could have come to South America by boat (Kon Tiki). Others suggest some coming across the land bridge before 20k years ago. Any theory of people coming from europe or the middle east is unsupported by archaeological evidence (unless you believe the “it was aliens” guys)
