On 28 July 1996, another dramatic find was made in the state of Washington in the north western United States: on that day a well-preserved skeleton was found in the Columbia River in Kennewick. This skeleton has become known as Kennewick Man as a result. The nearly intact skeletal remains, found with a stone arrowhead lodged in the pelvic bone, are so obviously White, that forensic anthropologists and local police first thought them to be those of a 19th Century White male, about 45 years old, who was killed by an arrow.

Radiocarbon dating of a finger bone, however, showed it to have great age - at least 9000 years old, putting the individual on the North American continent around the year 7200 BC. Like the Spirit Cave Mummy, Kennewick Man's White racial traits are the cause of much controversy

These findings are controversial. there is some evidence in primitive tool making also. Even speculation in an Atlantic migration route using the ice flows that were supposedly extended further south than today. Much like Eskimos still go out on the ice to hunt today in the far north. A conglomeration of little tidbits would lend to the argument that the Siberian migration route so popular today was not the only or first
Migration to this continent. I don't think the Kenewick man findings led that far though, more that he wasn't related to the peoples we now call Native American
>per coragryph<
EDIT: Slew (above) makes a great point about the Ainu -- who would have had access to any Siberian land bridge (if you go with that theory) as well as possibly a sea-crossing, being straight across the pacific.

This too is kinda speculation on the anthropolgist part too as I remember a statement from one of the examiners He said that the closest peoples that he could relate the bones to was the Ainu this after he had examined not just the kennwick man but several different finds.

There is evidence of a black people before that. Some think that the same race as the Australian aborigionese were there even earlier

Yes However almost at the extreme tip of south America
Which would lend more chance to an oceanic crossing than the prominent landbridge theory

There is evidence of a black people before that. Some think that the same race as the Australian aborigionese were there even earlier. Kennewick people weren't quite white people but likely more like the Ainu from Japan. Still it likely it wasn't "native Americans" who got here first..

Wrong again, Better luck next time!!
The Article on page 2, states "the idea of referring to a skeleton as being Caucasian "race" is an oxymoron. Few, if any, reputable scientists today believe in the existence of physical "races" Since all human beings are 98+o/o the same."
It also States that these people mostly came from the south as North America was cover by thick ice.

Page 3 " In any event, Pacific Northwest nations are linguistically related to language families found outside of that area, including the widespread
Ritwan-Algonki,
PenutianUto-Aztecan,
and Dine-Athapaskangroups.
It should be noted that the recent territory of the Shoshone and Norther Paiute-Bannock nations commenced only a short distance south and southeast of the Kennewick site.

The Shoshone-Paiute-Bannock languages are related to those of the Hopi,Aztecs and other peoples as far south as Nicaragua.

Did you read this info, it contradicts all of your assumptions.

Sure looks like it documents more to" Aztlan "than to Anglo 9,000 years ago

Everyone should read this paper.

Slew
Ainu Again, Gentic testing of the Ainu people has shown them to belong mainly to Y-haplogroup D [2] The only places outside of Japan in which Y haplogroup D is common are Tibet and the Andaman Islands.
The Ainu are not Caucasians.They are Mongoliod.

It's possible. Analyst of some of the skulls Of early Natives in AMerica show that Ainus were one of the first group of people taht arrived in America. Ainu primarily exist in Northern Japan (Hokkaido) and are Caucasian. They are the original inhabitants of Japan and also live in Korea, Manchuria and parts of Siberia. They could of easily cross the Bering sea like the proposed Mongoloid. It was proposed that the Native Americans evolved from the Ainu. My belief is that the Native Americans are a composite of several waves of migration to America. The Ainu maybe one of these waves.

Edit: SOrry it should be past tense. THey use to live in Korea, Siberia and Manchuria.

Judging by ability of the solutions you have already won, they clarify it by ability of never getting to grasp something approximately technology.

"So obviously white"..... without any skin tissue remaining....

Actually, the finding indicated Causcasoid --- which includes Near Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and European.... not all "white".

But it does raise interesting questions about possible earlier trans-oceanic explorers to the coast....

If it is true, it is interesting, but irrevelelant to today. It is who is here now and how we all get along (or not) that is the problem. Seeing the Aztlan remark makes me thing that you are upset about how that is being taught (and it upsets me as well), but this Kenniwck man isn't going to change how things are now.

Thanks for the information. I will store it in the section of the I don't care department. It is what is going on right now that matters with immigration, not who lived here along time ago.

Absolutely.
We were placed here 12,000 years ago by an advanced race in Egypt. They constructed the pyramids and were seen as gods by us. Maybe they will come back one day and fix all the problems we've caused :)
