Consider the interpretive map of North America here: This geological interpretation is meant to represent the end of the Cretaceous, about 65 million years ago. Is the representation of Bering Strait and Beringia accurate? Why or why not?
According to this page: http://weber.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/arch/beringia.html
the earliest human migrations may have occurred 38,000 years ago. However, a quick search online did not reveal the ages that Beringia existed. Given a lack of time to adequately research this question I am unable to determine if this map is an accurate representation of Beringia 65mya
A question I would have would be: When did the terranes shown here aggregate?

You can see the lines defining the States of the U.S. and the provinces of Canada - which were not around 65 mya.
