Table 1 lists the studies and scientists who have carried them out. Opinions differ on the interpretation of evidence and the law in the complex and unusual case of the Kennewick Man.
This case has been surrounded with controversy from the very beginning. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the various decisions and positions as this case works its way through the federal court system, the thoroughness and objectivity of the government scientific investigations, the expertise of the investigating scientists, and the value of the information obtained should not be ignored.

The tableau is presented with such conviction that it is easy to overlook the consideration that virtually everything above the footprints is imaginary.
This is chicanery not science. This is weird imagination not science. This is absolute fraud. This is pure bunk. I was watching a scientific video about Europeans entering North America from the ice bridge between Europe and North America during the last ice age. What they found was that 4 separate dna sequences show that Native Americans arrived from Siberia…. Next, the scientist tracked down when this dna was generated….
What they found was that this gene sequence was 12, years old……. So, combined with the spear points and the dna testing, we see that there almost surely there Were Europeans entering North America over the continuous ice bridge between Europe and North America during the ice age.
In regard to Kennewick man, the Native Americans and the governemtn appear to be doing their best to sweep Kennewick man into the dust bin of history…I expect a cover up of the embarrassing facts that Kennewick man may be related to Europeans.
I would bet that there WAS able to be made a strong connection to European origins…….. HOW SAD and unbelievably ignorant is this PC approach to science……just say what you want the Science to say to advance your cause…never mind the true research results, never mind scientific theory, that you need to prove your hypothesis, such as global warming is significant and man made….
No one is looking to belittle the Native American tribes….. I know there was physical violence. She has a fractured nose, indicating a blow to the face. The detective working the case thinks that if we can get a positive ID, the guy they have will talk. And we have a positive ID. Owsley is a robust man, of medium height, 63 years old, graying hair, glasses; curiously, he has the same purposeful look in his eyes as Kennewick Man.
He is not into chitchat. He met Susan on the playground when he was 7 years old and remains happily married. He lives in the country, on a farm where he grows berries, has an orchard and raises bees. And that was Kennewick Man. A vast amount of data was collected in the 16 days Owsley and colleagues spent with the bones. Twenty-two scientists scrutinized the almost bones and fragments. Led by Kari Bruwelheide, a forensic anthropologist at the Smithsonian, they first reassembled the fragile skeleton so they could see it as a whole.
They built a shallow box, added a layer of fine sand, and covered that with black velvet; then Bruwelheide laid out the skeleton, bone by bone, shaping the sand underneath to cradle each piece. They could also tell whether he was deliberately buried, and if so, the position of his body in the grave. Next the skeleton was taken apart, and certain key bones studied intensively. These scans used far more radiation than would be safe for living tissue, and as a result they produced detailed, three-dimensional images that allowed the bones to be digitally sliced up any which way.
With additional CT scans, the team members built resin models of the skull and other important bones. They made a replica from a scan of the spearpoint in the hip. As work progressed, a portrait of Kennewick Man emerged. He does not belong to any living human population. Who, then, are his closest living relatives? Judging from the shape of his skull and bones, his closest living relatives appear to be the Moriori people of the Chatham Islands, a remote archipelago miles southeast of New Zealand, as well as the mysterious Ainu people of Japan.
Not that Kennewick Man himself was Polynesian. This is not Kon-Tiki in reverse; humans had not reached the Pacific Islands in his time period.
Rather, he was descended from the same group of people who would later spread out over the Pacific and give rise to modern-day Polynesians. Nineteenth-century photographs of the Ainu show individuals with light skin, heavy beards and sometimes light-colored eyes.
These seafarers built boats out of sewn planks of wood. Outstanding mariners and deep-water fishermen, they were among the first people to make fired pottery. The discovery of Kennewick Man adds a major piece of evidence to an alternative view of the peopling of North America. If correct, the conclusion upends the traditional view that the first Americans came through central Asia and walked across the Bering Land Bridge and down through an ice-free corridor into North America.
Sometime around 15, years ago, the new theory goes, coastal Asian groups began working their way along the shoreline of ancient Beringia—the sea was much lower then—from Japan and Kamchatka Peninsula to Alaska and beyond.
This is not as crazy a journey as it sounds. As long as the voyagers were hugging the coast, they would have plenty of fresh water and food.
Cold-climate coasts furnish a variety of animals, from seals and birds to fish and shellfish, as well as driftwood, to make fires. The thousands of islands and their inlets would have provided security and shelter. They were genetically swamped by much larger—and later—waves of travelers from Asia and disappeared as a physically distinct people, Owsley says. These later waves may have interbred with the first settlers, diluting their genetic legacy.
Whether this new account of the peopling of North America will stand up as more evidence comes in is not yet known. The bones of a 13,year-old teenage girl recently discovered in an underwater cave in Mexico, for example, are adding to the discussion.
Kennewick Man may still hold a key. A second effort to plumb the old fragments is underway at a laboratory in Denmark. He was a stocky, muscular man about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about pounds. He was right-handed. His age at death was around Anthropologists can tell from looking at bones what muscles a person used most, because muscle attachments leave marks in the bones: The more stressed the muscle, the more pronounced the mark.
He spent a lot of time throwing something with his right hand, elbow bent—no doubt a spear. Kennewick Man once threw so hard, Owsley says, he fractured his glenoid rim—the socket of his shoulder joint. This is the kind of injury that puts a baseball pitcher out of action, and it would have made throwing painful.
