What is the 'greater good' of burying clues to the common history of mankind?

History of Mankind? There's plenty around us and most is ignored. I can raise similiar questions for cloning, fetal tissue experimentation.. all in the name of science, knowledge, evolution of mankind. Does it make it right?

I firmly believe that classic theories on human migration are incorrect, so what? I would not "tool with" a corpse in the name of science.

What do you mean?

I notice a propensity for moral judgements here.  But I'll play.  I have no problem with cloning,  stem cell research or evolution.

 I firmly believe that classic theories on human migration are incorrect, so what?

So why bury the chance to prove or disprove your beliefs?

 I would not "tool with" a corpse in the name of science.

Then you shouldn't.

He's dead, Jim.

There is no violation of the sanctity of human life by examining his bones now. There is much yet to be learned about him and his people. American pre-history is primarily assumption based on very little data, and that is leading to ridiculous claims in courts. If the past is important to modern legal decisions, then let's document the past with some accuracy.
