"At 9000 years, Kennewick isn't anybody's "missing-link." He's just a guy that got to the continent 8000 years before Columbus."

He might have been their ancestor - physical features can change over time in populations and we are looking at a very long time here.

Noby's caliming he was a "missing link". He was a modern man - Homo sapiens sapiens.

Didn't the Clintonistas have the Army Corps of Engineers bury the findspot so that scientists wouldn't be able to study it--they might have learned more from the context of the burial...or even found a Kennewick Woman. Given a choice between pandering to the politically-correct, or advancing scientific knowledge, there wasn't much of a choice to be made.

Yep, good ole Bruce B-B-B-Babbitt had the site destroyed to appease the natives

I din't know what the indians around you look like, but they don't look like that here, and I'm in Washington. They generally have a much more pronounced brow ridge. Also, the whole jaw outline in an indian is rounder and more robust, not pointy like this individual. And the eyes tend to be closer together than this example.

Here's Sitting Bull alongside (I don't think I have opinion either way at this point, I'm just posting what I find when I google photos):

It's funny that both these skulls appear to have chin clefts. I wonder what "people" tend to have the most chin clefts? I always seem to see German descendants with chin clefts....(my friend calls them butt-chins).
