Don't you just love how scientists always say that man got to America on a land bridge. But…firstly, America hasn't always been where it is now, and secondly, weren't all the Continents together in Pangea? I mean couldn't man have been on the continents when the split? Or am I just an idiot who doesn't know anything?

I couldn't tell you, I study LOL cats not Geography.
Pangaea = 250 million years ago.
Humans = 10,000 years ago (as cited in the flying spaghetti monster biblotecha)
Actually, humans evolved 100 millions of years after pangea according to scientists. Truth is, we don't actually know how old the Earth is 'cause geology isn't an exact science and carbon dating is so inaccurate it's not even funny. So, when a scientist says "well, there weren't any humans on Pangea," unless he has a time machine and has visited pangea, he's an idiot. Even Darwin himself said that NO ONE can ever actually know how we got here or how the Earth was formed or how old the earth is 'cause we cannot live forever and we were not there at the beginning.
And, if you believe in the Young Earth theory, then humans WERE there during pangea. And, if you consider the current movement of the plates, A land bridge doesn't make any since. Especially 30 million years ago. Russia and America would have been a least another 100 miles AWAY from Russia. America is currently moving towards Russia at about 2 inches a year. and if, that rate has remained constant (which is probably unlikely) then 35 million years ago would have been Pangea, or something close to it.
In other words, there are a lot of inconisistancies in both sides of the coin, and sometimes the answer is a lot simpler than people want you to think.
did the math. at 2 inches a year, 35 million years ago, America would have been over 1100 miles closer to Europe. And the Atlantic is only 1600 miles across. That would mean a landbridge between Europe and America would make more sense than a landbridge between Russia and America. And if you think about it, Greenland isn't that far away from North American and might have acted as a landbridge for a while.
I only read actually, and, in and did in that paragraph.

Alaska is only separate from Russia by only 90 miles or so, they either Desu desu desu desu desu sarah palin desu desu desu.
But better question how did humans get on easter island or hawai eeeee.
I mean when you consider it, Easter big island is totally surrounded by water, with no continetts nearby, and not only did they manage to get people there , but they did also's get big rock from forein souc.
Beheld me theori un hoe Homo sapis get uver wet.
Actually to some degree ants are the perfect society, if only they could invent.
