  1 1/2 minutes to get this:

"The First South Carolinians: The Paleoindians (12,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C.)

The earliest inhabitants of South Carolina were the descendants of
Asian emigrants who crossed into North America from Siberia about
14,000 years ago (maybe even earlier). These people, called
Paleoindians, followed the gradual movement of large game animals
across a land bridge connecting Asia and North America. This passageway,
called Beringia, was exposed when the late Pleistocene glaciation caused
the sea level to fall.
Although there were never ice sheets in South Carolina,
the climate was cold and now extinct animals roamed over much of our state."

  Inger's mis-named ice streams, even if they are founded in fact,
did not affect South Carolina. Even its mountaintops do not show
evidence of glaciation, and certainly not the Savannah River valley.
