I omitted those "steps" specifically because they do introduce the specter of "racism" and inflammatory screeds.
I've been following this for years and was overjoyed when they forced the Indians to reveal the secret burial site in order to allow further testing.
Since that happened, it's been one round of "our ancient ancestor deserves a proper burial" histrionics after another.
[questionable motive or intentional cover-up?]
Somebody, somewhere is afraid of the question that may eventually be asked;
*Who* exterminated the pre-exisiting "Kennewicks"?
What will this mean, if anything, for the whole "indigenous population wiped out by the evil White Man/subsequent entitlements/tax free status?
Even the ChiComs are handling the "horrible implications" of the Red-headed desert mummies revelation better than this.
Years ago I watched a NatGeo special on the Ainu.
They were called a "mystery race" who had many disturbing Caucasian features.
If you ever get a chance, check out Barry Fell's books.
Archaeologists and anthropologists hate him but I happen to possess an artifact that supports his claims.
