Ping for you, Jenny

Corey S. Sparks, above, and Richard L. Jantz, say Franz Boas, a father of anthropology, misread his own findings on skull shape and race.

"Because no DNA was extracted from the Kennewick bones."

That's BS! There was DNA taken and it was reputed to have been 'inconclusive.' I expect there will be more taken now that the judge has ruled against the Indians and for the scientists to do further study on Kennewick Man.

Thanks for the ping. I just read this at the site and was contemplating posting it here when I saw you had done the deed.

(I'm in the middle of Pinker's The Blank Slate which I strongly recommend.)
