@billiam @MelGibsonafter4Beers @Arty24 @GrungeQueef @RealRaul @s2208 I read extensively about this. Kennewick Man was conclusively found to be an ancestor of existing Native Americans. He is just so old that he is genetically and morphologically with little resemblance. I can't find anybody that disputes the DNA evidence. However handling of bones that predate established histories is an extremely political topic. Indians assert, and federal law sustains, that any remains found are by definition Native American, so for the most part any interest in non-native-american early new world inhabitants is hard or impossible to study because Indians have legal control of the bones and are not going to let you study them if you're going to contradict their oral histories. I had an interest in this topic for many years and my conclusion so far is that none of the european early-inhabitant claims have ended up being viable. there does seem to be evidence though that there were much earlier migrations to the new world earlier than current native americans, but none of their lineages have survived to the present day
