Ocean levels were probably a bit lower then too. So crossing the ocean wouldn't be the daunting task it is today. It's not as outrageous an idea as some scientists suppose.
But since that was over 20,000 years ago, it's kind of hard to tell.
Taking your numbers at the rate of 1.5 feet per year, 20,000 years ago the Atlantic was about 5.5 miles less wide than it is now.
Do you think 5.5 miles would make a difference when the Atlantic Ocean when its 3,000 miles wide?
That's one and one half INCHES - not FEET.
Had I meant FEET I would have written it 1 1/2' instead of 1 1/2".
Note the difference?
In the context of the Atlantic Ocean it doesn't make a difference.
A half mile, 5.5 miles what is the difference.
