History of Mankind? There's plenty around us and most is ignored.

What do you mean?

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 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.

Many things are known about people in general and groups of people and their accomplishments or lack thereof. There is also much known about human behavior. But any of this that is deemed “un-PC” or “hurtful” is ignored. Digging up (pun intended) more dirt (yet again) is of what use? Socially digestible information will be published for consumption the rest stricken.

Moral judgments yes. I know that some things have a price that is far too high no matter the benefit. The ends should not always justify the means.

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

Because this will prove nothing. Except that scientist have the Right to trespass and dig up my ancestors in the name of science. Even if the remains of this man prove to be Caucasoid he is still our ancestor.

Disturbing the dead is not good, what was a man has long since settled.
