Archaeologists and scientists found that the Kennewick Man was buried deliberately and that his physical characteristics are similar to Polynesian, Ainu, or southern Asian populations. The article describes how the findings from Kennewick Man affect the debate on migration theories to America. Genetics point to Siberia as an original homeland for the first Americans. INSET: A TALE TOLD BY ANCIENT BONES. |
