Kennewick Man
Kennewick Man was found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington. It is also said that he was one of the most complete skeletons ever found. From this, his skeleton was studied for decades, and then in 2015, it was discovered that he had the most similar DNA to Native Americans. The remains were then returned for reburial as the Umatilla people and other tribes demanded. What’s fascinating is the fact that he actually became part of a 9-year court case between scientists and tribal people.

Naia
Naia is one of the first Americans, a teenager who died tragically by falling in an underwater cave in Mexico. The cave then dried up about 12,000 years ago and was then nicknamed “dark hole”. This young teen’s genetic makeup resembled an isolated group that supposedly came from Asia. It is presumed that she died due to a harsh upbringing since men were violent during those times and often engaged in fights.
