Unraveling the mysteries of the Kennewick Man
Kennewick Man is the name generally given to the skeletal remains of a prehistoric Paleoamerican man found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, USA. First thought to be of Caucasian origin, archeologist Eske Willerslev and his colleagues at the University of Copenhagen extracted a complete genome sequence from the remains, discovering it to be related to modern Native Americans.
