Map of life

The Kennewick Man, a 9,000-year-old Paleo‑American skeleton discovered on a bank of the Columbia River in 1996, is one of the earliest and most complete sets of human remains ever found in North America. It has also been the subject of considerable controversy—several Native American tribes have claimed the Kennewick Man as one of their own and have fought to repatriate the skeleton for reburial.
