"Researcher Seeks Secrets Of Kennewick Man"

Shouldn't someone alert Sen. Leahy? Sounds like this Mr. Kennewick's privacy is being invaded.

[luvbach1]

A "European" (before there was a Europe, of course) being dubbed the new "native American" certainly won't fly with the PC crowd. Related to that, I've long wondered that if American Indians are the only native Americans, where does that leave those of us born in the United States?

[NaughtiusMaximus]

I have such a strong spiritual, mystic affinity with K-Man. I'm sure he must be an ancestor. Can I have my casino now, please?

[mikeus_maximus]

You mean the first "Native" Americans may have been Europeans?!?

Oh, the huge manatee! That's going to ruffle some feathers (pun intended).

The Klintonistas ordered the destruction of the site this skeleton was found on to mollify the leftist indian supporters so that no more of these thing can be found to possible destroy their claim to have been here first.

[pabianice]

Some, like those in Kennewick Man's population, may have died out. They may have been killed.

THIS is the terror that haunts "Native Americans" and PC-mongers everywhere ... that today's American Indians are descended from a later migration that killed-off earlier settlers from Europe. We are gong to know soon.

No-one thinks Kennewick Man is European. Most believe he is related to or is an Ainu. See the below link for the story on the Ainu:

True, they sent in the Army engineers to totally, and irreparably destroy the site.

Speaking of Mummies.

The idea of American Drugs in Egyptian Mummies has always caught my eye.

Ditto - more people outside the academic community believe european stock populated NA 6000 years before anyone walked/rowed/sailed here from asia or the indian subcontinent

[norton]

What "a lot of people.." believe is that the Asiatic racial type currently living off of casinos across the country only represents the second most recent group to arrive here in sufficient numbers to suppress those who came before.

Just where those earlier people came from, and how many different sources there were, are open to debate with that "lot of people".

[ThanhPhero]

the observations of the early explorers, conquerors and misssionaries describe an apparently racially quite varied America. That whole groups died off between these first contacts and wholesale colonization seems to have reduced the apparent variety somewhat.
