I don't know a lot about Kennewick Man BUT I do see KM is an object of fascination on stormfront. I don't get why KM is such a political hotpotato.
You don't? It is because it prooves the current syllabus about indegenous human species is bravo sierra.
Man, I had to take an hour-long shower the last time I looked at Stormfront.
The idea that Kennewick Man is a "European" is somewhat overblown; he is likely more what we'd consider "Southeast Asian" or "Polynesian" but still likely quite different from modern American Indians.
The reality though is that we're all really extremely closely genetically related no matter where we are from.
It would be a shame if Kennewick Man wasn't closely studied due to this idiotic amendment; however, Kennewick Man doesn't suddenly mean that there isn't anything to be embarassed about in the treatment of American Indians by Europeans.
