Kennewick Man
Kennewick Mann. The skeletal remains, discovered near Kennewick, Washington, of a man estimated to have lived approximately 9,000 years ago. Although the initial description of the skeleton as having European features has largely been discounted, the origin of the man's probable ancestors remains controversial.Kennewick Man
An ancient—9,300-year-old—Native American skeleton that is, to date, the most complete prehistoric human remains. It was found in the Pacific Northwest on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, in 1996. Kennewick Man—Ken for short—along with other ancient skeletons, has furthered the debate over the origin of early Native American people; the prevailing hypothesis is that of a single wave of migration of hunters and gatherers who followed large herds of game across the Bering land bridge around 12,000 years ago. The rival hypothesis is that of multiple waves of migration |
