Kennewick Man - Kennewick Man Kennewick Man is the name for the remains of a prehistoric man found on a bank of the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington. The remains were initially given to forensic anthropologists, who studied them until it was determined that the remains were of a man who lived approximately 9000 years ago. A controversy emerged when an analysis of the bones' features suggested "caucasoid" descent. The history of the colonization of North America by humans, once thought to have occurred via a simple migration across the Bering Strait land bridge during the most recent Ice Age, has increasingly been revealed by archaeological evidence to be much more complex; multiple waves of humans have apparently made the journey, via different means and from different regions.
