Riddle of the Bones: Politics, Science, Race, and the Story of Kennewick Man (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780387988771)

Roger Downey takes us to the center of the controversies over "Kennewick Man," the surprising 9,000-year-old Caucasoid-like skeleton, and the interpretation of when and where the Americas were first settled. THE RIDDLE OF THE BONES, vividly told by a Seattle Weekly journalist who has covered the story from the first dicoveries in the Pacific Northwest, forces us to reconsider what we know of America's first settlers and who can legitimately lay claim to the artifacts and interpretation of our past.
