The world had been one continent, Pangaea, but then split apart with the movement of the continental plates. It is likely that the ancient people would not have had much water to cross (though Pangaea had split before then) and could have swam/made boats out of reeds, something which there is evidence to suggest.

I've heard that they were following animal herds, and that's where the herds went. Seems like it would be awfully cold to cross the Bering Strait though. Gotta eat I guess.
