"Kennewick Man Skeletal Find May Revolutionalize Continent's History"

About damn time!

[blam]

GGG Ping.

[pcottraux]

Took him long enough.

[Founding Father]

What the experts were able to ascertain from their brief encounter with Kennewick is that he did not look like a Native American.

Now can my alma mater quit calling itself the Cardinal and go back to being the Indians?

[ElkGroveDan]

Don't let Sandy Berger anywhere near the remains. Like other embarrasing controversies of the Clinton years, he'll probably try to hide the evidence by sneaking the bones out in his pants.

[ASA Vet]

Ainu hair is sometimes curly in color? Who'da thunk it?

[swmobuffalo]

Well this will tick off some Indians I know. They're just sure they were here first.

[Grampa Dave]

Past About Damn Time!

Please keep us posted on results. If you develop a ping list Kennewick Man, please put me on the list.

[Raycpa]

“He was probably a well-built individual. The bones of the right arm were larger than the left.”

Did he also have hair on his palm?

[Crawdad]

Blind?

[Disambiguator]

This will give Americans of European descent the excuse to march in the streets claiming "we were here first!"

"Well this will tick off some Indians I know. They're just sure they were here first."

But, but.. I thought the Mexicans were here first - the La Raza, the Reconquista - you mean they'll have to change their signs now?

[Mikey_1962]

Another great excuse to write ATLATL!!

Did he also have hair on his palm?

Likely not since he's apparently the only Kennewick that ever existed on the face of the earth...

Would seem that science would have to locate at least 2 complete skeletons to be able to make the claim that the Kennewick (or any other) man was a missing link that lived for thousands, if not millions of years on the earth...

[CholeraJoe]

The 380 bones are being preserved at the University of Washington’s Burke Museum

It's more than one person or it's a space alien. There are only 208 bones in the skeleton of a modern man.

Tatanka sounds so Japanese. So many plains Indians seem to have Jap features. The language has similar phometics. Go Figure.

"Likely not since he's apparently the only Kennewick that ever existed on the face of the earth..."

There are Kennewick Man type skulls all over:

[JustDoItAlways]

If you look at the facial reconstruction of Kennewick Man, sorry, he looks exactly like an Indian.

Let me be the first to apply for a license to operate a Kennewick Casino. I know record keeping back then was a little sketchy but my late parents always told me that I was descended from Ole Kenny. I'll need seed money, of course, to pay off the Dems and...

Well this will tick off some Indians I know. They're just sure they were here first.

They tried every trick in the book to make sure that never changed.

Someday, those they displaced and killed to extinction, may reappear and demand reparation or return of their land.

This whole controversy perfectly illustrates the "I was here first, you got to give me everything" scam... and stupidity.
