Back? Never left it.
The Bering Strait bridge folk were newcomers, obviously, practicing the 
now discredited diplomatic procedure of 'terra nullius' (no-one's 
land). These bridges were created by sea level drops during the recent 
ice ages rather than the much slower process of plate tectonics. They 
occurred here too.
Why is George addressing pubic rugs then? ("Ma fellow merkins") or 
should I be spelling it 'murkins' - or using the local insult 'seppo' 
(Oz rhyming slang - septic tank).
There is no specific animosity between curmudgeons apart from the fact 
that we don't necessarily like each other any more than anyone else 
dammit. However there is a professional admiration for each other's 
best efforts. We might form a club apart from that obstacle that 
neither one of us would wish to belong to any club that would have us 
as members.
