"FYI... Comment?"

James Chatters, the paleoanthropologist who did all the early work on Kennewick Man never called him a Caucasian. His first impression on seeing the skull was that he was dealing with an European pilgrim to the area but, after further evaluation he realized he had an ancient skeleton that displayed some Causoid characteristics.
KM still has those characteristics and is believed to be related in part to the Ainu/Jomon people of Northern Japan who are tall, light skinned, hairy and have some Causiod like features. He is not an European.

I just completed reading a good book last night by J.M. Adovasio (he excavated the Meadowcroft Site), titled: The First Americans. He said the Corps Of Engineers 'securing' of the KM site was equlivent to the Taliban blowing up the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
