The Relationship Between The Basque And Ainu

[ClearCase_guy]

Wasn't one of these inconvenient fossil-finds buried by the Army Corp of Engineers under about 100 million tons of rocks? I thought that was Kennewick.

[VOYAGER]

The tribes claimed that Kennewick Man was an ancestor and should not be desecrated by scientific study.

Must be Democrats, with all this PC silliness!

[truth_seeker]

"George Gill, a forensic anthropologist at the University of Wyoming and one of the plaintiffs in the Kennewick Man case, said evidence indicated that seafaring people from southeast Asia or Polynesia could have reached the Americas by travelling along the Pacific Rim, landing somewhere in what is now South America."

Aku Aku?

whose identity as the continents' "original" inhabitants seemed jeopardised

The Constitution should not be amended, not even for this.

[RJL]

The US army's engineers corps, which has custody of the skeleton and which sided early on with the tribes, has objected to so many aspects of the scientists' study plan that a new round of litigation is probable

Clinton holdovers are everywhere.

[Little Bill]

What do these people have to fear? A clear and open investigation of these issues would be neat, no more tribal lore or Clovis suppositions, science on the table.

[usurper]

Anyone looking at the Kennewick Man remains can clearly see that he is Irish. The Irish were well known as great sea explorers and for loosing their way home from the pub from time to time.

Clearly we need to rethink the status of the original inhabitants of this continent and the great injustice that they suffered.

As a direct descendent of Kennewick Man, I am not asking for much in the way of reparations, just a casino and tax free smokes.

[SW6906]

Usually the articles about Kennewick Man don't include a hint at the real, true story behind all this:

"The discovery caused a stir not just among tribes, whose identity as the continents' "original" inhabitants seemed jeopardised, but also among scientists whose long-standing theory on how the Americas were populated was turned on its head."

Surprised to see this here.
