The skull of the man found in the site known as Burial 37 bears the distinct marks of acromegaly, new research finds. The black arrow indicates where the man’s right eye tooth erupted just below his nose. (Photo by Eric Bartelink/Phoebe Hearst Museum)

Have they notified Kerry yet that they had found his ancestor? Any evidence the he was also involved in a Asian land war. or relics like heart shaped purple stones?

That had to hurt like hell. I wonder if there are any other animals that so typically have dental issues?

I was kind of hoping they’d give his height. I’m sure from the skeleton they could ascertain it.

When I read I Claudius he mentioned there was an island with a man who was 11 feet tall on it. He said the man was very thin and weak but the accounts I have read when they mention gigantism never mention anyone growing to this extraordinary height in those days.

SF Giants coulda used him.

The man was part of a hunter-gatherer culture known as the Windmiller, one of the earliest sedentary societies in the Central Valley, usually identified by its distinct burial practices, Bartelink said.

3800 years ago? That is old. I had never heard of the "Windmiller" man.
The Kennewick man (Caucasian, not Asian) was thought to be the first homo sapiens sapiens in the new world. They hunted the giant mastodons.

Looks like he was killed by a blow to the head.

Would it really have been a great technical difficulty to have used a brighter color for the arrow?
