I think the going theory these days is that there were 3 separate migrations from Asia in the past 20-30,000 years or possibly further back. In-between then and now there were some really advanced societies of the time in the americas.

Advanced farming techniques were invented; they believed they cultivated maize which is not believed to ever have been found in the wild.
