Теории прибрежных миграций (англ.coastal migration или Southern Dispersal scenario) существуют в современной палеоантропологии и генетике[1][2][3]. Согласно указанным теориям, после возникновения современного человека в Африке 100—200 тысяч лет назад человек первоначально расселялся из Африки на восток вдоль побережья[4][5][6][7][8].
В рамках данных теорий иногда рассматривается вопрос о переселении человека через Берингов перешеек, соединявший в эпоху последнего ледникового периода Северную Америку с Сибирью, и далее в Центральную и Южную Америку вдоль западного американского побережья[14]. Сделанные в недавнее время открытия, в частности, опираются на то, что осадочные породы в пещерах Порт-Элиза на острове Ванкувер указывают на существование в этих местах благоприятного для человека климата около 16 тыс. лет назад[15]. С другой стороны, несмотря на указанное исследование, данный тезис по-прежнему остаётся спорным[7][16].

Recent discoveries and events have breathed new life into the coastal migration theory, which suggests just the opposite of the ice-free corridor hypothesis — that maritime peoples first traveled around the North Pacific Coast then followed river valleys leading inland from the sea. Having a coastal route available, however, does not prove that such a maritime migration took place. Archaeological evidence for early boat use from islands along the western margin of the Pacific may support the idea that such a journey was technologically feasible, but archaeological data from the Pacific coast of North and South America are presently ambiguous about the origins of the earliest coastal occupants. ...

The expansion of modern humans out of Africa, following a coastal route into southern Asia, was initially thwarted by a series of large and abrupt environmental changes. A period of relatively stable climate and sea level from c. 45,000 yr bp to 40,000 yr bp supported a rapid coastal expansion of modern humans throughout much of Southeast Asia, enabling them to reach the coasts of northeast Russia and Japan by 38,000–37,000 yr bp ...{{citation}}: Проверьте значение даты: |date= (справка) (недоступная ссылка)
