The analysis, published online in Nature on 10 August and led by palaeo­geneticist Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, suggests that the passageway became habitable 12,600 years ago1. That’s nearly 1,000 years after the formation of the Clovis culture — once thought to be the first Americans — and even longer after other, pre-Clovis cultures settled the continents (see 'American trail').

I don't know if we discussed it at the time, but this is a very clear explication with some good graphics.
 
I am not positive that everyone can access the link. I get redirected to my University's Library proxy which requires my student log-in to access certain academic journals/articles. It might be my browser settings though.
