Water levels were lower during the glacial periods because of all the water in those frozen glaciers. The brittish islands were connected to mainland Europe for example. So there really isn’t that much of a suggestion that sea levels were lower, established science that.

The original commentator probably got dates (or zeroes) mixed up. More than ten thousand years ago definitely doesn’t put anything on the other side of the last glacial period (one hundred and twenty thousand tears ago).

An interesting side note is that due to the sea level rise many of the first human settlements of the Americas are now well under water and possibly lost forever. This makes dating the human arrival very difficult as we only have later very much inland settlements to go by.
