Kenne wick Man closely related to Native Americans
The 8,500-year-old skeleton of Kennewick Man is more closely related to the Native Americans than to any other population in the world, says recent DNA analysis by an international team of scientists. \"Using ancient DNA, we were able to show that Kennewick Man is more closely related to Native Americans than any other population,\" said study\'s lead author Morten Rasmussen from Stanford University.
New York: The 8,500-year-old skeleton of Kennewick Man is more closely related to the Native Americans than to any other population in the world, says recent DNA analysis by an international team of scientists. "Using ancient DNA, we were able to show that Kennewick Man is more closely related to Native Americans than any other population," said study's lead author Morten Rasmussen from Stanford University.
Kennewick Man is the name given to the skeletal remains of a prehistoric Paleoamerican man found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, on July 28, 1996. It is one of the most complete ancient skeletons ever found. The discovery of the remains led to considerable controversy.
The skeleton is called the Ancient One by Native American groups, which believe the bones are those of a long-ago ancestor. In 2004, five Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest requested repatriation of the remains for reburial, but the proceedings were halted to allow further investigation into the skeleton's origins by a court order.
