I wonder if he has any obtainable DNA? That would be interesting to see if his descendants are still there. Like they did in Britain. Remember that one?

Yup. I expect he'd be Ainu/Jomon. (Same stock as Kennewick Man, Spirit Cave Man and Buhl Woman) Just a guess.

Bryan Sykes of Oxford, who did the DNA study for the Cheddar man, has already done a study of Polynesian DNA.
It would be interesting to see where this guy fits in or if he doesn't at all.
