Everyone keeps saying he doesn't look "Indian". There are many different kinds of Indians in the U.S. I've seen pictures of Indians that look a lot like this bust. I don't think he looks any more white than he does Indian. I don't know of any test they can do on 9000 year bones that is going to be fullproof evidence. Which tells me just bury the guy and go on with life.

Its not just subjective observation that causes them to rule him out as American Indian. There are certain body proportions that are constant within racial groups -- skull shapes, etc. My understanding is that everything about him and his bone structure suggest that his physical characteristics are distinctly outside the normal range of proportions on the many, many tens of thousands of Indian remains they have studied and catalogued from across the Americas.

He looks kinda like Wes Studi (a Cherokee actor who played Magua in "Last of the Mohicans") to me.

evidence. When you win the Nobel Prize in any of the sciences, we can start taking you seriously.
A big mouth and an inflated opinion of yourself isn't quite enough.
Sorry.
