"As an American Indian, I hope they never get to examine Kennewick man."

Forget these guys, don't you want to know about the first peoples in the Americas? Kenniwick man can be caucasion and still be an ancestor of these tribes. Anthropologists have for some years been making a comparison between the North American stone age and the European stone age. Now genetics has shown that ancients on both continents have rare genes in common.

"Center for the Study of the First Americans-
A Solutrean origin for the Clovis culture seems a more parsimonious explanation of the evidence than an Asian ancestry. Certainly, if Solutrean industries were found in Siberia, no one would question their historical relationship with Clovis.

The ultimate test of this hypothesis may be found in genetic research on ancient human remains. Michael Brown and colleagues reported in 1998 that mitochrondrial-DNA haplogroup X (a genetic marker of population groups) is found in low frequencies in both European and Native American populations, but not among Asians. This indicated to them that some of the American founders may have come from Europe between 36,000 and 12,000 years ago."
