Re: Turns out old Kinnewick man is related to an indigenous tribe, and is not European regardless of appearance.

Have they done DNA analysis on Kinnewick Man?

First time I have heard that.

In June 2015, it was made public that scientists at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark determined through DNA from 8,500‑year-old bones that Kennewick Man is, in fact, related to modern Native Americans, including the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation from the region in which his bones were found. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennewick_Man

They knew about the Kennewick man error fairly soon after discovery. Once the original forensic anthropologist found out they were ancient bones he knew and backtracked.
