"From its discovery in the Columbia River shallows in 1996, reporter Roger Downey has chronicled the epic adventures of the skeleton called "Kennewick Man": first as a pretext for a media feeding-frenzy; then as the centerpiece of a legal circus pitting celebrated scientists against Native Americans, the Corps of Engineers, and the Clinton White House; and, finally, as an object of rational scientific study.".
"The saga of Kennewick Man offers an abundant opportunity to explore today's rapidly changing scientific theories about how the Americas first came to be settled - and by whom.
But it also casts a great deal of light on the deep divisions within the fields of anthropology and archeology concerning the role of politics and race in the pursuit of scientific goals, what constitutes ethical procedure in dealing with ancient human remains and living individuals, and the very purpose and direction of the scientific enterprise itself."--BOOK JACKET.
