>>Paleontologists and such science people should go down to Chile and Peru<<

They did. The findings at Monte Verde in Chile support the coastal migration theory vs. the Bering Strait Land Bridge theory...

Monte Verde
en.wikipedia.org

Monte Verde is an archaeological site in southern Chile, located near Puerto Montt, Southern Chile, which has been dated to 14,800 years BP.[1] This dating adds to the evidence showing that settlement in the Americas pre-dates the Clovis culture by roughly 1000 years. This contradicts the previously accepted "Clovis first" model which holds that settlement of the Americas began after 13,500 BP. The Monte Verde findings were initially dismissed by most of the scientific community, but in recent years the evidence has become more widely accepted in some archaeological circles,[1][2] although vocal "Clovis First" advocates remain.[3] Coastal migration is a widely accepted model explaining the inhabitance of Monte Verde. Archaeological evidence shows that people arrived at Monte Verde about 1,800 years before the time that the Bering Straight Land Bridge would have become passable in 13,000 bp. This leaves traveling down the western coast of the Americas as the most plausible explanation for the earliest inhabitants of Chile.
