It would most likely be AMHs from northern Asia who, when they reached the
Pacific coast, turned north. There is mtDNA connecting Mongoloians with native
Americans (but I haven't got the ref here). Southern Siberia was populated early
(ca. 40 - 50 ka compared to Europes c. 38 - 40 ka) and a map of the tool
distributions shows a slow easterly (and later notherly) progression. The higher
lats are very productive and also permit a way round the Gobi/Himalaya
boundary.

Sorry I don't know who W. Douglas is.
